 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 sponsor ultimately agreed to have both STEM and vocab puzzles in the game. This answer will help the group design puzzles in the future. 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 a value proposition canvas that included the game's pains and gains. After completing the assignment, the group spent the rest of the meeting brainstorming puzzles and mechanics for the game and how they would be implemented once development started. The puzzles and mechanics discussed will not be shared in this blog post as they are still conceptual and are likely to change week to week, making sharing them pointless.


Goals for next week:

  • Continue brainstorming ideas for game

Goals of the week: Work on project tasks Summary of the week:      Unfortunately, only Devin was able to work on the project during the prior week. Scott had two school projects due around the same time and needed to dedicate his time to them. James was also unable to work on the project because of social commitments that he had to uphold. However, he was able to update the project spreadsheet. Meanwhile, Devin was able to add the changes he made over the past two weeks to the project. The main focus of these changes is the Save System, the Currency System, and the functions used to calculate the durability loss of structures. Goals for next week: Continue working on project tasks
