Working on Lab Rat provided valuable learning experiences in various aspects of game development:

• Scrum & Sprints: Gained practical experience in agile project management using Scrum methodologies and organizing work into sprints.
• Trello: Utilized Trello for task management and project tracking, improving team collaboration and organization.
• Version Control with a Group: Enhanced skills in using version control systems like Git for collaborative development and managing changes effectively.
• Game Design Document (GDD): Learned how to draft and refine a game design document to outline and communicate game concepts and mechanics.

These experiences have significantly contributed to my growth as a game developer and project manager.
