Last Friday, I presented what I had available in the Independent Study along with my senior thesis project to not just potential employers, but also fellow TCNJ students, alumni, and future students.
The proof of concept contained the main character, Domino, being moved around by the player. Coming into contact with the arrows on screen will switch the background image and enter a new room, each image different concept art. The concept art itself was of Domino, the main antagonist currently under the name "Darkball", and two currently unnamed animals who would be potential party members.
The proof of concept was given lots of compliments and praise, much to my surprise. Those curious about my project asked me how long it took to have ready what I presented, and I told them it took me all semester to work on. That impressed them further, and they wished me luck before leaving to another station.
This is the very time I ever had face-to-face feedback from people I didn't know about a personal project like this. There was a lot of intrigue and interest in my project, and I'm very happy to have heard so many things and have as many people stopping by as I did.
Just from that, I can already think about how I can improve my independent study after this semester and where I can take the full project further as well.
