4.0 REFLECTION 

At the start of the semester, we were advised to drop the module if we hadn't completed at least two modules from our chosen specialisation. I had presumed that, as a group of majority animation students, we would do a primarily animation-based project. 

I hadn't expected us to end up doing game design, a field we aren't even vaguely familiar with, in a medium many of our instructors are unfamiliar with (VR). As a group, I think we've done a decent job considering our inexperience at the topic, but given the choice, I would not have chosen 3D game design or VR. 

My group mates are ambitious and passionate people, which I appreciate. However, combined with the tendency to strongarm conversations and the three of them being friends, they do not make the most considerate group mates. I think, at our core, we are very different people and our personalities simply do not match. This isn't an attack on their character; it is simply an incompatibility issue. 

We had a heart-to-heart about this, and while we were able to talk through our differences and frustrations, I really hope these issues won't persist into MPII.
