Presenting Our Topics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On Monday, we all presented our findings over the course of 2 weeks. In all honesty, I was so nervous to present. Generally, I will try to keep quiet and not talk in class if I can help it, but this lesson really helped me improve my presentation skills and my body language. I managed to pace myself really well, spoke coherently and managed to still have a minute left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There were so many great presentations that I listened to on this day and so many interesting topics that were voiced and articulated well by my peers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After our presentations, Adam told us that we needed to pick out our own favourite topic to look into deeper and re-present it to the class in 2 weeks time. As it was such short notice, I was stuck between either the Salem witch trials or parasocial relationships as I think both of them have good game potential. Adam then gave us 30 minutes to talk about our topics with our peers and by the end of the conversation I had, I was certain with parasocial relationships<\/mark>. This is because I get so fascinated by how parasocial relationships even form in the first place and the psychology behind it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rapid map prototyping<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Here are some screenshots of what was happening in Ross’ lesson. Unity was quite hard for me to understand, but I still had a go at it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thoughts and takeaways<\/mark><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Presenting helped me build my confidence, in fact, I’m sure that doing this exercise helped me get over my fear of sharing ideas. Truthfully, although I am quite an energetic person, I do have a hard time sharing ideas sometimes, I think it comes from a place of insecurity, but doing this presentation helped me a lot. Listening to other people’s presentations also inspired mw. It was encouraging to see how other people may approach their research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this week:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • In week 5, we will be doing another presentation, this time we will be choosing just one idea to do further research on. By the end of Monday, I chose to look further on parasocial relationships, as it’s something that interests me<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Do a brainstorm of what topics I could look further into<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
