During this period of 15 weeks, I have a better understanding of what game development is like, and I was clearly underestimating how much work was needed to complete this module. The process of making a game, from the idea to testing & balancing, was a unique experience where we got to see that the understanding of a new game is a learning curve, those who knew similar games would have an easier time understanding our design and gameplay elements, whereas those who are new to the social deduction genre maybe lost and overwhelmed with information. Additionally, our game does lack many elements and may be imbalanced on some occasions, we understand that there is room for improvement. I hope for us to continue working on this game even after we finish this module and hopefully publish it in the near future.

This module was quite fun to do, despite the challenges. I didn’t expect there would be a module where we’d make our own game. It really helped me understand the process of game development, with lots of brainstorming and playtesting to make sure the mechanics made sense and didn’t make the game too long or complicated.
I wish we had been more organized and had more time to really flesh it out, because it was genuinely fun to play during the playtest. The gameplay was fast-paced, and every round felt different. Unfortunately, a lot of us had exams, papers, or other final projects at the same time, so reconvening with the project was tricky. It’s not really an excuse, but it did happen. I promise to do my best to manage my modules better next time.

Game studies revealed a depth of complexity I hadn’t anticipated. Analyzing what makes a game captivating, from its mechanics and narrative to its impact on players, was both eye-opening and inspiring. This exploration taught me how games function as intricate systems that blend design, psychology, and storytelling. I learned the importance of balancing accessibility with challenge and how thoughtful design choices can shape the player experience. These insights have given me a new appreciation for games as a medium of creativity and engagement.

Game studies turned out to be far more intricate than I had initially imagined. Exploring the concepts behind what makes a game engaging, from mechanics and design to player behavior and storytelling, was both challenging and rewarding. This journey deepened my understanding of how games are more than just entertainment—they are complex systems that require careful balance and thoughtful design. I gained valuable insights into player psychology, the learning curves of different genres, and the importance of accessibility in creating enjoyable experiences for a diverse audience. These lessons have shaped my perspective on the multifaceted nature of games and their potential for creativity and innovation.

Over these 15 weeks, I’ve gained a deeper understanding of game development, realizing I had underestimated the effort involved. The journey from concept to testing was a valuable learning experience, especially in balancing gameplay for both familiar and new players. While our game has room for improvement, we’re excited to continue refining it and aim to publish it in the future.

Studying games opened my eyes to their multifaceted nature and the effort it takes to make them truly engaging. From understanding mechanics and player interaction to analyzing storytelling techniques, I gained a deeper appreciation for how games are crafted. I discovered how player psychology and the learning curve of different genres play a crucial role in shaping experiences. This journey not only enhanced my understanding of games but also highlighted their potential as a creative and impactful form of expression.
