Usability and Polish
In the final weeks I straightened all the UI and polished the help and tips screens. I finished a few small features in development like a morale boost for a higher city score and I rigorously tested for all the bugs I could find. I also reiterated and spell checked my ink files and stories one final time!

New and Popular!
Eudaimonia received a great response on itch.io, and responses and feedback were incredibly useful for developing my game. The game fit a few tags like card, city-builder and solarpunk, so on top of promoting my game on social media players were discovering my game through tags like new and popular!

Reflection
The final sprint I wrote up my results and polished my game, progress went slow and steady as I began to process that this was my last ever sprint for the MA in Indie Game Development! Overall I am incredibly proud of what I have achieved and how different I am as a game designer, researcher and person.
The journey has been magical!
