In February 2021 a team of 7 students came together with the goal of creating a lighthearted, accessible platforming game. The idea for the game came from a character concept- a potion bottle that gained powers based on the potion it held inside. Melbourne’s second wave of lockdowns hit shortly after production began and the development of Bottled! has continued remotely. The team gained its 8th member in August, and the game is set for release in November.
