WHAT DID I LEARN?
This opportunity helped me to learn top-to-tail details of creating a polished ready-to-ship game title. I quickly learned that as a designer, you don't work in a vacuum. Everything you do affects other people's work on the team and learning to understand that effect and how to be a professional is the key to successful design implementation. Regardless of what kind of game I work on, design leadership is at the center of success or failure. And the key to being an effective designer is understanding that you are at the center of a workflow that affects all the other disciplines
