W15 | Presentation Deck + Final Presentation

Towards the end of the semester, I gather up all that I have prepared and created a presentation deck. It covers the background, concept idea, core experience, chosen platform, size of the play area of the project as well as the story development, UI design, expected visual outcome, the animatics and lastly the prototype. I demonstrated the project in detail of what I have been doing for the past 14 weeks to get the final feedback for the semester.

The final feedback from industry guests were an eye opener for me as they are people that have not been following my progress since day 1 and their opinion was important as it demonstrates whether they understand the project or not. There were 2 industry guests present that day and one of them said that my project topic is not someone usually talk about and it can be seen as a refreshing turn of things. He also mention that the project has a powerful background that not everyone will understand at the end of the day and it is hard to convey a message told in a short manner. He thinks that the project can be meaningful if I continue to work on it and the interaction needs to have a rationale behind it. As for the second guest, his only comment was the perspective and user experience of my project. He thinks that certain areas in which I showcase in my animatics where users will see themselves falling and that the screen will rotate itself will throw a person's senses off. This will cause dizziness and nausea if not done properly and he advises that I take more consideration on this area. In terms of visual, there were no additional comments on it.

Overall, I think that I still have a long way to go and that the comments given were also an eye opener of what the project was lacking. I personally think that I have not done enough either as I have been doubting myself a lot during this whole process. One part of me think that the story is just not feasible, a sense of something no one would want to see. I think that throughout, I kept thinking of ways to doubt myself than staying true to what my judgement tells me, and this is where all things started falling apart. The harder I thought I would fail, the more demotivated I have become although I was so enthusiastic in the beginning. I have taken the comments seriously and will continue to improve! I will not let my consciousness get the better of me and trust in myself more towards the end.
