Reflections

Procedural level design - We decided to make procedural over designed level design. Why we did this was because of the player characters speed, with our reference being Race The Sun, we had the issue that our player was really fast so in order to make a level long enough we chose procedural design. The issue with procedural design was that we could not create a coherent experience for the player nor balance the difficulty throughout a single level.

What we could have done - We could have designed without procedural design if instead of making the player character incredibly fast, we gave the player the illusion of going fast in order to make the character itself travel slower throughout the levels. It could be achieved by adjusting the camera FOV, adding speed lines among other things.
