I just wanted to make one more post with a little more reflection on what was hard about this project. First of all, it was pretty fast paced but me and Elizabeth worked everyday so we handled that pretty well. The thing we struggled with most was getting the right things done because they had to be done before other stuff could get done (if that makes sense). Also, just learning the new programs was hard. I am pretty familiar with photoshop but indesign and illustrator were completely new to me so it's nice to know a little bit more about them. Printing was a bit of a struggle too, but at least we could work on all our pieces while we were waiting on the printers to cooperate. I was most overwhelmed at the beginning and the end, but everything turned out to be okay. When Amber first told us that a whole type face was due the day after we learned how to make one, I was so freaked out, but I got it done like usual. And the last couple days of working on touch ups and packaging, I thought we would never see the end.
Something interesting to think about for me is how each group fit their game so well. If we had had different partners, none of the games we have now would have been produced.
And since Elizabeth and I worked so hard on character development, I thought I'd give them a little more attention by matching my classmates with which one they would most likely be. It's like high school superlatives!
Pete - farmer, no doubt.
Jen - kid
Susannah - mom
Caitlin - theif
Kelly - I'd say you were the friendly neighbors, even though they aren't an official character
Elizabeth - magician, she'd look fly with a beard
Will - yak impostor obviously
Griff - I'm having a hard time with this one, but I think I'm going to go with farmer.
Betsy - mom
Amber - (I hope this doesn't affect my grade) I'd say you are a farmer.
