Anteater Highway was my 3rd year professional project. I worked in a team of 6 and worked with a client (The Royal Zoological Society of Scotland) to develop the game over 16 weeks. For the project I was producer, game designer, and composer/sound engineer, as well as doing QA. This was the biggest project I had ever worked on, and managing a team as well as coordinating with clients was a difficult task. There were many setbacks with the project but despite these challenges we were able to pull together and make a game that the clients were very pleased with.
