Reflection posted in Individual Development Diary Published April 23, 2025 Advertisement The journey of developing our game over the past twelve weeks has been both challenging and somewhat rewarding. From the initial concept discussions to the final polish before submission, this project has taught me not only game development skills but also the importance of planning, teamwork, and adaptability.In the early stages, idea generation and concept refinement were exciting. It was interesting to see how diverse the team's creative inputs were and how we gradually converged on a core idea that balanced innovation with feasibility. Working collaboratively to draft the Game Design Document helped establish a clear vision, and it became a useful reference point throughout development.As the Producer primary responsible for project management, scheduling, and team coordination, my role throughout this game development project was to ensure that the team worked efficiently, met deadlines, and remained aligned with our overall vision. I encountered several technical hurdles. This role pushed me to research unfamiliar concepts which strengthened my problem-solving skills. There were moments of frustration, but solving these issues was immensely satisfying.Collaboration was a crucial part of our success. Effective communication on platforms like Discord helped us stay organized and meet our milestones. We also supported each other during stressful weeks and adapted well when tasks needed reassigning due to changing schedules or unexpected obstacles.Playtesting and feedback collection were particularly insightful. Seeing how others interacted with our game revealed gaps in our design that weren’t obvious from within the team. Iterating on player feedback helped us improve the experience significantly and reminded me how important user-centric thinking is in game designOverall, this project has not only enhanced my technical abilities but also strengthened my project management, communication, and creative thinking skills. It has reaffirmed my passion for game development and given me a realistic taste of a games development progress. While there were definitely challenges along the way, completing the project was a proud moment—and a motivating one for future game dev projects.
