Reflection
I am very proud of how Whitefall turned out. It was my first large VR project, and it taught me a lot. However, I feel like the core game mechanics were lacking in the experience and I feel this was due to a lack of vision towards the beginning of the project. This is something I will bear in mind during future projects. This project has taught me the necessity of performance and constant builds as we discovered during multiple points some major performance issues which we easily resolved thanks to our weekly builds.
