I play games

 What a semester it has been! Overall this class has been a massively enjoyable one and has really made me re-think how I enjoy and view games. Its one thing to be a fan of games and play them, but taking a class like this you really take a step back and look at them from a different perspective altogether.  I really enjoyed the moments in the projects that involved the back end part of building a game. I am a creative person, have grown up drawing and doing creative things. The moments in the design where we were brainstorming the concept was the most exciting parts for me.  I really enjoyed working with Construct 3, and would really like to continue that.

Before, I only focused o

In short, having limitations in the software, but not really knowing what those limitations are. Again, having lofty ideas... but not having the
