Week 2 (1/20 – 1/24)
Week 2 had a late start, because our team members were organizing their schedules; electives, etc, our set schedule was not set till Wednesday. But it is finally set and our team seems to be all in an agreement with the new schedule.
Although its only week2 we wanted to get things out of the way before the ball started rolling. We looked into the logo, half sheet, poster, team picture, but we underestimated the behemoth of our first assignment and unfortunately needed to bump those tasks onto week 3. We are still waiting on our website, which is soon to come; our web developer is ready to work whenever we can.
On Wednesday we had our 2nd meeting with our client, giving our ideas, brainstorming process and asking for feedback in preparation for our actual pitch. Although the team had similar ideas we were still struggling to come down to a solid three choices.
During our brainstorming phase, we realized we were having issues figuring out what could be our main idea and a side feature. After discussing with the team over two days, we were able to siphon a big list we created into three strong ideas we are ready to pitch next week.
Our very own slot car, (purchased by EA) came! It is huge, it has found its place on our table and it has no other place it can go. Playing with it definitely gave us more insight on what we are diving into.
CHALLENGES:
This week, our challenges were scheduling issues and the Global Game Jam, there were a lot of schedule shifts that was a bit frustrating but our team is strong and flexible and I believe we were able to get what needed to be done. Although we had to bump a few tasks from week 2 to week 3 I believe we are still ahead of the game. Being our first pitch and a semester changing one, we are very nervous as what to do/if we are doing the correct thing.
NEXT WEEK:
We will pitch our idea, and come up with a stronger sense of what we will be creating for the rest of our semester.
