Charlie Cleveland
He was the director for Subnautica. It was a very popular game with the fresh idea of making a survival game set underwater with a good touch of horror with how the the enemies can act.

Evidence of Team Planning and Decisions
PRODUCTION – ACTION
The (FILM, SOUND, or GAME Creation)
Skills Commentary
During the session, I worked on making the boss shooting and the code for switching between things like the main menu and the win screen. I also bug-fixed a lot of minor things that came up and added the walls for the level.
POST-PRODUCTION – REFLECTION
21st Century Skills
Ways of Thinking (Creativity, Innovation, Critical Thinking, Problem Solving)
Due to us just padding our the game this session, I didn’t do anything really creative only bug fixing and dealing with issues when they came up. For instance, the bullets would spawn in but wouldn’t move and after looking I realized the force was not added so after some quick fixes I added it.
Ways of Working (Communication & Collaboration)
I communicated with Liam, Hunter, and Robert regularly to work on the game more efficiently. Since Hunter was the main level/ menu artist, I asked him to make sprites and artwork we needed when it came up.
Tools for Working (Info & Media Literacy)
I didn’t really use the tutorials I found at the start of the session like normal. The ai shooting one though I used a lot this session and I’m happy I did. If I am being honest I really didn’t use much info and media literacy in this session due to how it was structured for my team.
Ways of Living in the World (Life & Career)
I was able to learn many different things to help with future projects like how to make enemies shoot at the players and learned from issues that my team ran into what makes good level design.
Reactions to the Final Version
“The boss and player projectiles were too small” – Neliy. Although I was not there, I heard our game was well received and the main issue came up with art which was not my role in this session. With the SUCCESS model, our game mainly hit categories for gameplay and not for the story since we didn’t have enough time to add a basic intro slide like in the last production session.
Self-Evaluation of Final Version
This session allowed us to make a lot of progress with the game. I will say that there were issues with how the team chose what person would do what thing but I am happy with how far the game came from last school year. I do realize that I didn’t work enough as I would like but I’m happy
