It all started in 2019 with a simple video game idea: a man runs in order to escape from the police chasing him. At the time, I had neither the knowledge nor the time to develop the game by hand, so I surrounded myself with motivated people to help me realize my vision.

After a few months, I was managing a team of 15 volunteers, all motivated and passionate. A small community started to form, so I thought: why not create a website? That's exactly what I did. And it didn't take me long to choose my stack: Angular and TailwindCSS.

I don't think I really had big problems while building the website. From time to time, I got stuck on bugs with TailwindCSS, but I always knew how to find the solution.

It was when I was working on the "Our Team" page that I got a little stuck. I knew I didn't want to copy and paste each member's HTML code (especially since the team was changing a lot), so I implemented a temporary solution of putting all the members in a JSON file that I call with an HTTP request from Angular.

It wasn't the best solution, but at least it saved me from having a super long code. At that time, I didn't know Back-End development, but now that I think about it, it would have been much easier and customizable to have an Admin panel like Strapi.

The project was abandoned in 2021 due to many complications. So the game unfortunately never saw the light of day. This is perhaps a good thing, given the problems encountered and the direction in which the project was headed.

I was able to learn a lot about project management, game creation and I also realized how complicated it is to create a game with a team of volunteers you don't know.

If you want to learn more about the history of the project, I wrote a little article about it on my Medium account!
