Who wants to do actual work to get recognition? Why not get someone else to do the work for you and then take all the credit? In SIAM! you are an office employee, and you have your eyes on the Employee of the Month award ‐ but you don’t want to actually earn it. Dodge, sabotage and deflect work to your co‐workers as you SIAM your way to victory!

Software Development Life Cycle
The AGILE software development process was used. As the game assets were being produced, we used simple shapes such as cubes and spheres to represent our game objects in order to do testing. Game mechanics such as movement of characters were tested with classmates for ease of controls, so that we can find out which type of control (virtual joystick or click to point to move) suited the game best. Multiple iterations of our game core mechanics were also changed based on feedback to scale the difficulty of the game.
While coding the networking for this game, I had a number of issues which took some time to fix. I might add the reflections here or in another post soon.
