REFLECTIONS

Throughout this 14 weeks, I have learned a lot of things. Not only have I have a deeper understanding on the design principles and design elements but I have also learned how to apply them in my designs and other subject assignments. I also understand the importance of compositing and how to use it as well, before this, I am very bad at compositing since I always thought that compositing would not play such a big role, if the design looks very pretty and nice. Although, I wouldn't consider myself best at compositing now, I can say that I have definitely improved a bit compare to before I learnt it. With this module, I have also learned how to observe and analyze more, I would sometimes observe things around my surroundings more and I would wonder if this way would be better or that way would be nice. I have also understand more and found out more new things about myself throughout this whole module, and I have also learned where I should improve and which skills I should enhance. 

I'm also very thankful for my lecturer, Dr. Charles as he had really helped me throughout this module. He provided me so much insightful feedbacks and made me rethink what I first thought in a very good way. From his feedbacks, I have also learned more than just design principle but also "principle of life" hahahaha. Seriously though, I think throughout this module, I have learned more than just things that related to designing, and that has helped me a lot for getting more ideas, no matter if it is on designing or not. I am also very grateful for Ms. Jinchi's recorded lecture videos. Although I have never been taught by her directly before, it still feels like she taught me a lot of things. Her lecture videos are very good, it has summarized the things that we know without dragging it out for too long. She had made the lecture videos very easy for understanding, it's really very good for people like me. 

In conclusion, this module has helped me so so much, not only in just designing but also other things. However, I do hope we have more time for some of the assignments so that we could try and explore more.

He told us that this time we're allowed to be in groups to work on our major project. Furthermore, Mr. Kannan also mentioned how we should brainstorm for our major project. After that I started to think how I should proceed with my major project while in the meantime, searching for partners. I then started to group up with Jia Yee for my major project. We then started to brainstorm for ideas, both of us have came up with all sorts of ideas, yet none of them feels like it would be best suited for us. After coming up with a few ideas we think could work, we started organizing it: Fig 1.1; Ideation 1; Week 1 Fig 1.2; Ideation 2; Week 1; ...

1.9.2023- 29.9.2023 (Week 1 - Week 5) Britney Chow Pei Jun / 0350043 / BDCM Game Development Task 1: Game Proposal LECTURES/EXERCISES WEEK 1 In this week's class, we are required to review a game made by our seniors. Fig 1.1; Reaper Test Game; sauce:  TDS Gamezone ; Although the graphic of this game does not feel as good as the other game in Gamezone. However, it is still nice as it uses simple shapes and design, the colors used in the game does not feel very out of place, the background also feels alright, but for my first time playing this game, I did not know about the environment of the game. Furthermore, the music chosen also able to fit in to the game itself. The story of the game is nice as there's a goal behind it. Due to the limitations the developer faces, there won't be more to the story. Moreover, the movement of the character is slightly "slippery" as it sometimes slipped even th...
