Reflection

From all of the modules i've taken during my time in Taylor's, this is my favorite module so far. Coming into this module I was a bit scared since I don't really play games, I was concerned what if I cannot think of a good idea for the game. Surprisingly, I really enjoy this module, more so I feel like this module is a breath of fresh air after all the other modules wreck me into dust :) . I was very grateful for Miss Anis to make the classes fun and engaging. And my groupmates that makes this module very very enjoyable. 

Through this module, I've learnt how to brainstorm ideas and taking inspiration from existing games and making a whole new game from it. During the group discussion and iterations of the game, I saw the developments of the game. I also put more thought on games I play now, and see the components and mechanics they have
