Finals week is about halfway done now, however; my last final happened this evening for the game projects course. We ordered several pizzas and invited a number of other students outside of the class for one last presentation of our work. Every team exhibited the current state of their development, which was a first to have all teams in attendance. I think the most significant thing to come out of this last iteration demo was reflecting on all the accomplishments made this semester and to think about what the future holds. I am glad to say after such a busy semester, it's great to be finally over and have a break from it all. This semester brought new experiences and challenges, most notably was leading a team in developing a game. While I expected leadership to be difficult, having essentially two leaders, thankfully not three as the person responsible for the original decided to back off, complicated thing a great deal more. Not only does this make authority and roles on the team tricky to discern, conflicting thoughts and statements arise on several subjects especially when one leader isn't there at the time. Aside from that, I found it challenging to find enough tasks to keep everyone busy, even with team members helping to create stories. I've also ran into the issue teammates spreading themselves too thin, trying to do everything and getting frustrated when they don't see much accomplishment. I plan to address the later two issues in more depth at the beginning of next semester and will work with my co-leader and professors when needed. As for the break, we're not requiring team members to work on the project due to various complications each may face, such as lack of reliable internet, as well as its supposed to be a break. A few have stated they would not mind or even plan to work on a few stories, though not necessarily at the normal pace during the semester. I myself plan to work on some art assets over break and I hope to finish a significant number by the time we start the spring semester. Here are some examples of the art we've made this semester.
