Welcome to week 7 (Feedback week) it’s felt as though this has come around very quickly!
I had my formative feedback on the Monday with Vanissa & Sophie, where they gave me some very useful feedback which I will include down below and also talk about how I’ve worked through some of the feedback given.

One of my big tasks was to make sure everything was more organised and laid out in a more efficient way, as it was one of the comments that was made which would make it harder for them to mark. So before where I just had one long document of my work I have now split them into small chunks which can be found in the following links:

Another part of feedback was that I worked on was cross referencing my individual work to our group blog which will be seen throughout my work but also can be found here: https://year2.wsagames.com/violetsdates/development-of-violets-dates/sample-page/
━━━∙⋆⋅⋆∙━━━━━━━━━━∙⋆⋅⋆∙━━━━━━━━━━∙⋆⋅⋆∙━━━━━━━━━━∙⋆⋅⋆∙━━━
I’ve also made a change of making sure I only include work that is relevant to me within my personal blog and then extras in the group blog, an example being week 5 I initially included the whole feedback form but it was recommended that I only talked about feedback relevant to the environment/narrative and then the rest goes into the group blog. Those changes can be found here: https://year2.wsagames.com/is3g23/week-5-mandatory-playtesting-session/

I made sure to document a meeting with Sophie better here: https://year2.wsagames.com/is3g23/⋆creating-a-colour-palette⋆/

There are still some feedback that I need to work through but for now this is what I’ve made changes too.
Here were my tasks to try complete this week, I added taking a break as I’ve been working non stop for 7 weeks and I think it’s crucial to just have a slower week to just give myself a little rest before I carry on for the rest of this semester.

Not mentioned on there but I also started preparation for week 8 CRIT presentation by creating a shared google slides for our team to work on, more will be talked about here: https://year2.wsagames.com/is3g23/⋆week8-mid-term-crit⋆/

Another side task I started was filling in the group blog more, I tided the menus up, added our playtest & added our vertical slice. I’ve also started transferring some of my finalised environments over.
