This semester has been an interesting one due to the transition to online classes. I myself found it to be quite a struggle at times since everyone was trying to figure out we can make the switch work. I’m more of an in person and hands on learner so there were times where I would get frustrated not understanding the topics or missing important due dates. Luckily all of my teachers have been extremely helpful and sincere especially you James Morgan. You didn’t give up on me even when I thought there was no possible way I was going to survive the semester so I thank you for that. I like to think that I have an even better understanding of what goes on behind the scenes in the gaming community. It makes me appreciate the games I loved growing up a ton more now seeing how much time and effort went into them. One of my favorite or most interesting parts in the semester would probably have to be when we made our own board game. Seeing all different aspects and mechanics that goes into a good board game blew my mind. Plus I felt like I walked a way with some positive feedback on the game I made and now have it to play or even perfect some more. It was extremely rewarding to see the joy and laughter from the people who played my game after me spending countless hours on it. Overall, I really enjoyed the semester still and believe I got a lot out of it even when we had to make the transition to everything online. It was easy for everyone but we all made it through together! I am looking forward to continuing to expand my horizons on video games and hope to take another class in the near future.
