Question 1: Why was this game important to you? This is still my favorite game I've played in my life.
Question 2: From a Designer’s Perspective, what skills was the game trying to teach? And how did the game try to teach these skills? They are trying to teach skills like teamwork, exploration and role playing. They teach these skills by having the player work with a group to fight and work puzzles. Also they made the maps large and free roam so the player can explore them. For the role playing skill, that comes from playing the game as a toon that can learn and create and advance.
