Dev History
2021 Fall: First Demo
Xmas Rush!! began as a solo class project with the theme 'Mundane'. I created a demo in 3 weeks with my concept of ‘Walking on a Crowded street’.
2023 Summer: Remake
I recruited a talented group of designers and decided to make the game complete. We start in the summer and finish the project in the fall.
