Well, I am ready to present. I hope everyone likes the demo. Even though the class was quite enjoyable, I have too many things going on to take the second part. I am getting a Master's in Journalism and working part time along with raising 5 kids. This class has been an experience and I won't lie I have cried a few times, wondering if I will ever make it through. However, I made it and I am ready to present and hopefully everyone will enjoy my presentation.

Whew!

We are down to the last week of class and I am excited to be finished with my game. Game Design is an awesome field for a student, but I know that it is not for me. I do not seem to have the patience to turn this into an occupation. I have enjoyed this class and it has helped me develop skills that I could possibly use someday. I am excited to have been a part of this experience, however, I am looking forward to only having to focus on my Journalism Masters at FullSail after this week. I am a writer, not a digital engineer! I am so glad that we were required to start a blog for this class, because I have been wanting an excuse to keep a digital journal.

Completely changed my idea! on 10th day of class

Wow! what an experience this has been! I have decided that my previous idea was too complex to develop in such a short time. I have decided to change my idea completely! I am creating a game called Hiragana Hangman. The player is given a Japanese word in hiragana symbols. The player's job is to guess the hiragana symbol and it's Japanese word by playing the Hangman game. This is far less taxing than developing a business enterprise that starts with a roadside produce stand. Because this is just a demo, I am going to keep it simple and create a game that teaches the player a very important international language, Japanese!
