Macauley Kavanagh, a student at Salford City College, began working on their final major project for a BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma in Creative Media Production in Games Design. They started developing a scenario and reached out to game developers for feedback, receiving replies from Wolf Fire Games who said they were too busy to assist and from Peppy, the developer of Osu!, who said he would try to review the final materials of the project.
