POST-PRODUCTION – REFLECTION

21st Century Skills

Ways of Thinking (Creativity, Innovation, Critical Thinking, Problem Solving)

I thought during this session to implement (not the art) a functioning and adjustable menu screen. I had to get creative at times, as it was difficult to function under certain conditions without things such as art or a down version control. Innovation is something I worked on with the health bar, as I was able.

Ways of Working (Communication & Collaboration)

I collaborated with my team in new ways this session, as there was a long break within the session. Over the break, I committed to working on a game jam and giving myself a break, and I talked to my team and made sure that was okay as my time outside of school would be a lot lower. This also continued after the break, as I am doing all of algebra 2 and pre-calculus in one quarter. All of this will make me only be able to work within this class while still being productive with my team.

Tools for Working (Info & Media Literacy)

In my game design class, I used info and media literacy skills to help me do things such as handling EXP and UI elements, so basically anything excluding AI in Unity. My understanding of information and media sources such as YouTube and Unity Documentation massively helps in making game play mechanics. My work showed a foundation in media literacy, contributing significantly to the overall success of the game design project.

Ways of Living in the World (Life & Career)

Participating in a game design class offers valuable skills with broad applications that can be used throughout my life. Through this experience, problem-solving, creativity, and teamwork are and will be crucial skills I have developed in this session. Designing engaging player experiences requires adaptability and problem-solving for when things go wrong. Making an effective UI system also helps with that, as it was a big challenge for me personally. Overall, this class has helped me with many skills for my life, especially a career in game design.
