Personal Reflection

Since the current project is a 2.5D game that does not involve 3D modeling, I chose SAI2 as my drawing software because it includes basic drawing features and built-in fonts that allow me to create simple UI elements. I tried using Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop in the first two semesters, but I did not use them for this project because the software is resource-intensive, causing my computer to run slowly, and I found the interface cumbersome and difficult to master. Outside of this project, I also tried CSP; I found its features to be similar to SAI2, but it was not as user-friendly.
