Next Steps

We were only able to get through the first stage, with about half hour of gameplay, for this project. It focused on Mayan mathematics. The next stages were to show the evolution of math into modern science and then as a thought experiment for the future.

Unfortunately, our original file ended up getting corrupted, so we'd have to build this from scratch, but I definitely want to continue building a game where someone could learn from.

This could lead into:
