In week 2, we gathered on campus. At our first meeting, Mr.
Charles gave a briefing about the Game Studies module. Mr. Charles
explained that we would be working on a group project. In the
group project, we are asked to make a game. Apart from that,
we were also briefed on the existing exercises and there were 5 of
them. The first exercise was an exercise regarding our game
journey. And here is my presentation.
Game Journey

Week 3
In week 3, we were asked to form groups of 5-6 people. I was in a
group with 3 of my friends from BDCM and 1 other person from the
computer science department. I feel that the formation of our
group is very balanced because it is divided between those who do
the design and coding for the game. In week 3, we were asked

balanced because it is divided between those who do the design and
coding for the game. We discussed what game we should make. And
finally came the inspiration from a meme related to milk and a
father. We ended up discussing problem statements, writing
important things like the ideas we collected and writing
proposals. Mr. Charles gave us feedback in the form of
questions like, what makes our game interesting and what makes it
special.
Week 4-7
In these weeks, we just divide the tasks and work on the parts that have been divided. Kian will do the coding for the game and the rest of us will start designing the characters and assets in the game. Don't forget, Esther reminded us to start doing group exercises.

These weeks, we just need to finish the rest of the exercises that
haven't been done. Esther again reminded us to work on it so she
could edit it and upload it to Youtube. Apart from that, there is
a group document that needs to be filled in and I will help fill
it out. And another thing is Kian has done another playtest with
his friends and the result is some positive feedback.

This week we had a meeting with Mr. Charles to do our first

REFLECTIONS
Game studies is one of the modules that I look
forward to in semester 3. What's interesting is that
we do it in groups. Doing groupwork has its pluses
and minuses. I like being able to work with my group
mates. They all work very hard and I am very
grateful for that. I was also greatly helped by
Esther, who tried to make the timeline work
correctly so that we would not delay submissions.
Thanks to Mr. Charles has also given us guidance and
feedback during this module. This module is a very
interesting module and I am happy to learn it.
