This week I attempted again to show my work to my mentor, but alas, the files have become corrupted. However, my mentor says that we can remedy this by taking screenshots of my current progress so that he can check on how I am progressing. I have a program called Snagit that will enable me to capture the pictures and show them to my mentor, but I am progressing rather slowly through my level, as it is quite challenging to sit down and devote so many hours to one activity. However, this is part of the learning experience and what a level designer does.

My latest meeting with Mr. Jermyn was very interesting because it made me realize that I am truly starting to think and process things like a game designer does. I must take into account all steps in my creation of the game and strive to make those which I already have presentable. While I am creating the level I am also refining it and improving the layout so that I can save more time. Unfortunately, AP tests are just around the corner, so I am balancing my time between studying and creating the level, but that is a basic skill necessary in any profession.
