Feedback + Potential Ideas
Feedback that I have received from my peers: what other things I should maybe look at, what game ideas I could stem from my resesearch
Conclusion
I have now gathered some ideas for what I want to do in Phase 3.
I realized that when I was doing my presentation my topic was still broad because I ended up briefly looking at different topics, rather than delving deeper with a few of them. Because of this, I spent over 8 mins explaining the topic, and not having enough time to properly explain some things.
However, with the range of topics that I do have, I am able to formulate game ideas that I have gotten from, from both the research and the feedback that I have received from others. So from then on, I will record some ideas that I have into word doc.
I now know what things I want to include when I next do my presentation, only including ideas that I want to talk about to peers. Because I looked into this topic briefly into different sections, I plan to go back to phases 1 and 2 with making ideas, so that they are more concise.
