This week, I made a detailed and initial (GDD) draft of the game, and at the end, I also received some revision suggestions from my teacher.
Mentor's suggestion
We need to explain the research that guided your ideas and how much your ideas changed across time
Add the feedback you’ve received in your presentation
Explain how did it change from feeling under the water and drowning – and how that evolved with time and research you’ve done
Add ALL the ideas you had
These can go on a tab called idea generation / or ideation
You should also have a tab called Research
Research tab
Add a mindmap
Add definitions if any
Add external texts or ideas that inspired you
Any games you’ve reviewed, any artists you’ve researched at the library,, etc.
Review of the games and films and stories
Ideation tab
Idea 1, Idea 2 and how they’ve changed
Mindmap 1, 2 , 3 if any
Sketches
Player loops – any drafts
Drawings, sketches, unfinished work
GDD
Add all your finished work = this needs to be clearly linked to ideation and research / use link

Minor: 3D Art / Major: Game Design with a focus on concept art and idea generation
Do some research into camera angles, and under the ocean life – is this a common jellyfish or does it have any magical properties – what are the creatures that the player will encounter and how – and have a reference board for each of them
You may need a study of light underwater and how that works (here please do some research into physics).
