  Goals for the week : Continue brainstorming ideas for game Discuss game review aspects Discuss report/presentation Discuss mini-games Summary of the week:      Due to scheduling issues, only one meeting was held last week, making this week's summary shorter than usual. With that said, the one meeting that was held was very productive. The group continued brainstorming mini-games for the XR game. While most mini-games were good, some mini-games need improvement. The group also spent the meeting dividing up the work for the upcoming assignments. The meeting concluded with the group deciding what talking points would be brought up in the next sponsor meeting. Goals for next week: Discuss requirements matrix Work on presentation assignment Work on project modeling assignment

  Goals for the week: Write game reviews Brainstorm ideas for game Complete value proposition canvas assignment Summary of the week:     This previous week started with the group and the sponsor discussing whether she wanted the game to have only vocab puzzles or if the game could have STEM-related puzzles as well.

The last item brought up in the sponsor meeting was scheduling issues as our sponsor would be too busy to meet during our regular time. That, unfortunately, meant that we'd be unable to hold a meeting next week. However, the group and sponsor decided to extend the next sponsor meeting to an hour to make up for the missing meeting.      Following that meeting, the group held another meeting to work on the assignment for class and continue brainstorming ideas for the game. The assignment in question required the group to create

Goals for this week: Discuss ideas for the game Discuss game choice Fill out a game design document Complete requirements modeling Finish and share opinions on “ The Kitten and the Robot ”   Summary of the week:     This week served as a way to further our discussions from last week. Our discussions on the book “The Kitten and the Robot” and the game we chose to make in particular. In regards to what the group said about the book. The group said that the book had a few kinks but could be a good children’s book. In regards to the choice of game. The group settled on option A which was a resource-management strategy game (e.g., Diner Dash). Once that was decided, talks about the game’s gameplay loop began. The idea that was the most popular amongst the group was splitting the game into two sections. A night section where the player would control the kitten and earn coins by solving STEM-related puzzles and a day section where the player would control the robot and either purchase upgrade
