1. This is the first episode of the series, and also my first time creating an escape room game.

2. The learning curve was quite steep. There were times I was so frustrated and could not figure out what went wrong - I was literally pulling my hair in front of my computer.

3. But I had so much fun! Escape Simulator is my dream-game-come-true because I have always wanted a game that lets me build my own map with puzzles and let friends come and try to play/solve them.

4. I decided on a "manga artist" theme as my first creation because of these reasons:
- my friends and I cannot take scary/haunted themes with jump-scares and ghosts;
- so I said I'll make "something cute";
- nostalgia

5. I use my friends' nicknames for some of the characters :P

6. The Doraemon figure was made entirely by shapes and blocks in-game. No external source/model needed.

7. To make the street view outside the window realistic, I took reference from many Japanese street photos and spent about 8 hours to remodel that in the game.

8. Total time taken to make this game = about 336 hours
