Selecting the perfect song was a fun hurdle! Balancing a sleek style with clear U/X proved challenging, as excessive shaders and shininess initially obscured game elements. What looked stellar in Blender required adjustments in Unity, tweaking environmental lighting and shaders. We also had to navigate the learning curve of dance mat skills, adjusting game flow to accommodate escalating difficulty levels. Beatmatching music, 3D targets, and landscape posed synchronization challenges, prompting us to fine-tune our library for optimal performance.
