Blog 9: Course Reflection
This is by far one of the most enjoyable classes I have ever taken at San Jose State University. As someone grew up playing video games and wanted to dabble in game design, Art 108 was the perfect opportunity to do so. Throughout the course, the lectures and labs helped build and sharpen my skills in game design. I appreciated the variety in lecture material as well as in the labs. Within the lectures, the MDA framework was the most helpful in terms of analyzing games and creating them. I can see myself using this in the future when playing a new game or when creating one of my own. Along with this, I enjoyed the game playing labs, the prototype and final assignments. These assignments helped me gain hands-on experience in playing and making video games within a team environment. I learnt the most in the final project by not only creating animations, assets, platforms and backgrounds but also working with programmers to implement them into the Unity engine to create a cohesive game. Overall, this class was a great experience and I learned an enormous amount about game design that I will most definitely be taking into my future. I look forward to continuing game design in the game development club next semester!
Here are some of my favorite assets I made this semester:

my professor said something today i’m gonna think about for the rest of my life and it was that i am really good at talking about my work, the choices that go behind it, and everytime i give a presentation all of my decisions make sense and i come across as very confident. he said it’s a skill that few young designers have and that it’s something to be proud of and i just there is something about that that is such a relief that i have never felt before
