Self Reflection and Final Major Project Ideas

State what you have learnt?
I have learned about more job roles there are in the sector I chose to study and what skills are required of me. More about the mobile app industry and the history of mobile device usage. My knowledge on the internet has grown slightly. I have begun to have a deeper understanding of Cyber Security and why it is important and how to protect against it. When creating products I have learned to follow certain models to help with succeeding. I have also learned how to market said products.

What practices would you adopt if you were to develop a product?
I would use the different software development models to my advantage so my product can be to the best of my teams and my abilities. I would use digital marketing to entice more customers to get my product. I would create a website to advertise the product and I would use my sound and game engine skills to develop the products.

Reflect on the other projects that you have undertaken, such as the mobile game development and website. What skills have you learnt, what did you enjoy the most/least, which path would you like to follow in terms of skills?
Skills 1. Coding and scripting in multiple languages 2. Problem solving 3. Teamwork 4. Organisational skills What did I enjoy the most? I enjoyed creating the games the most as I like solving the problems however, it may get frustrating at times but I love it. The second thing I enjoyed the most was creating the portfolio as I got to create multiple designs but also enhancing my scripting skills at the same time. What path would I like to follow? I would like to pursue game programming as I like coding and creating scripts for games. To me it's like solving puzzles and finding out what scripts need what to work the way I want them to.

Take into account your own research and what you have learnt on the other projects to produce an idea of media product that you may want to develop as part of your final major project, with suggestions of how you may carry out a social media and digital campaign to your target audience.
Product Idea 1: Mobile App For a mobile app, my idea is to create a database of all the legendary and unique weapons in a game called Borderlands 3. The app will detail specific prefixes available, what mission it becomes available, where to get it and what elements are available on it. It will also include a checklist so users can keep track of what they have earned and whether they have the anointments they wish to have. In order to market this product I would reach out to the player base using Reddit, a platform in which all players interested in the game and getting all the weapons will reside. Product Idea 2: 3D Game For the 3D game, my idea is to create a platformer where players will traverse obstacles and avoid/kill enemies while collecting all items in the level. Players will then need to get to the exit. In order to market this game I would create a small trailer showing off the title and then create a Twitter page for it so people interested in the title can keep up to date on details surrounding this game. In order to get more people interested I would scour reddits and post trying to increase my audience.
