REFLECTIONS

Game Studies was a such a nice modules for me where I learned a lot of stuff in 14 weeks. Every weeks gave their own journey and we, our group finally able to reach the end of the semester together.

Our task is to create an existing game and the main objectives is for entertainment and even can be educational. It was such a challenging things for me since I'm rarely played any board game, I got a little knowledge to build a game. Luckily, I got group members that are good on this way, and we create the idea together.

One of the interesting part is that I could experience to designing a card game during this modules. Even the process is really exhausting since I'm work it alone, but with so many kind of references, I got so much helped with it. Later then when the final products come, I felt a little dissapointment since the print services can't help us to print both sides so we need to glue it manually and it make the cards not look clean.

Lastly I would like to thanks all group members for working with me and the lecturers that guide us for improving our gameplay core!
