I think this project has really helped me focus my skills in 2D art. At the beginning of the project I was a bit all over the place with what I was interested in, I liked 2D art, but I couldn't decide between the graphics side of design such as menus and screen overlays or character art. This project allowed me to focus on both, learning new skills such as getting artwork ready for production and hone existing ones such as working through the design pipeline. I think also it has made me realise that I prefer character design work, which is what I'm going to focus most of my attention on in the future, but I'm also going to keep my interest in graphics.
Another thing that this project has given me is the time to learn new industry ready skills, for example game salad. I have been able to learn the basics, from which I will be able to build on, of software thats already used in industry. Also by learning these new skills it gives me the opportunity to continue making games in my own time, as an indie developer.
