Acting producer, volunteered to keep tabs of the team's well being and progress to ensure targets were being met, and if issues occurred, delegating to other members or taking the workload on myself. A Trello board was used to support this.

Created the foundations of the game's framework - a central node, which was the main data handler, managed our inventory system (using a dictionary) and allowed for easy interaction between other programmers’ work.

Various components within the shop, all of which were linked with the aforementioned inventory system:

• The Grindstone: Utilised prior drag and drop knowledge and a new button mashing mechanic, to correlate the feel of the action with the user’s inputs. This grindstone was intended so that the player could crush plants into seeds (stored in the inventory) which could then be planted into the garden.
• The Garden: Seeds from the inventory could be used to grow new plants, monitoring the growing states of the plants.
• Selling: A simple bartering system and calculated the value of the potions based on a simple mathematical algorithm.

Responsible for creating all of these components’ backgrounds.
Worked with fellow programmers to ensure branches could merge safely on github.
