This Monday lesson was mainly talking about next year and was presented to us by Adam, it was really handy to be able to ask questions about what 3rd year will be like as there was a couple of things I was slightly nervous about. We were able to do this all anonymously which allowed anyone to ask anything and not worry about being named. After the presentation I was able to have one last talk with Vanissa about my portfolio work and just go over to make sure that everything was all ok and ready for submission.

Reflections on semester 2!
To start off I would say this semester as a whole has been quite successful as the team that I was apart of was able to create the vertical slice that we decided in the beginning, we were even able to add a couple of extra bits here and there. I would say that within this semester the team worked really well on communicating, being organised and also having time to add any fun extras just to give the game a little bit more. I would like to think as an individual I was able to improve some of my skills in regards to the art side of things as well as I was able to take on constructive criticism and then produce work from that feedback, I was able to improve on the feedback that I was also given within week 7. So overall I think it has been a successful 2nd year in terms of learning and developing new skills.
For 3rd year I really want to be able to push myself to my limits and also try to express myself more through narrative design as it’s one of my passions that I would like to take forward to eventually have a career in something to do with narrative design. I’d also like to thank Sophie for the little nudge I needed to start being able to get a feel for what it might be like to apply for a job in narrative design, this has given me the confidence that I need to start exploring additional routes that I may not have consider before.
Overall, this semester and year has gone really well, so well in fact it’s inspired me to go and create a game hopefully over the summer, so there will be that to keep an eye out for!

I have wrote a little more of a personal reflection here which is more personal to me rather than an overall reflection: https://year2.wsagames.com/is3g23/⋆personal-reflection⋆/
