Mechanics are hard
What do you get when your assignment and course material contradicts each others and the presentation that should have been uploaded isn't there. At least a confused as fuck student.
Maybe it's just me, but the game workshop where I took the role as the mechanics designer was really weird. The paper was full of fill in the blanks of gameplay modes. The description says I should design core mechanics. The course material says there are lots of types of mechanics. The assignment paper only mentions one. I have no idea if it even helps my team if I only write the game modes, because we kinda did that already together. So I wrote some mechanics I guess?
???
Maybe I'm just overthinking things.
My mood didn't improve when I found out that another assignment everyone in the class though to have been pushed forward is actually due tomorrow. Nice. At least I worked on it for a bit yesterday so I could finish up in an hour, but it seems a lot of people in my class just said fuck it and hopes for the best.
Takeaway
Uuh. Student lives are hard? I dunno it's a little stressful but still nothing big. I'm more upset about myself for not understanding the workshop assignment. It feels like it is a learning potential gone missing. Time to read my course material some more. It's good stuff!
