Greebroll Journal 03 - Notebook
Working on Greebroll is surprisingly mentally stressful as it requires me to remember a hell of a lot of level designs, variables and player prefs (save data variables). I have a notebook by my side whenever working on this game so if I get a small idea I have something to scribble it down in.
A great deal of this notebook is filled up with bunches of text, scribbles and small illustrations which I can decode but look like chaos to others. When I was first dealing with the first game mechanic, the posts which you fire at, I had an idea of how to code it up so I could implement more mechanics and it would work however I had a slight fear I would forget it half way through so I wrote the code up in a more english interpretation which I can understand.

To finish off, here is the levels of primitive scribbled all up above the actual level pack selection menu showing the levels:
