• what worked well
  • We split up the work so well.
  • Up to date on all assigned tasks.
• what didn't
  • Difficult to determine how long tasks may take since many are interconnected.
• self assessment on progress
  • We are at the beginning of the development process.
• lay out each of the following weeks till end of term with brief goals for each
  • week 5: Setup Unity
    • (player connect, move, top down angled main camera, pickup system, basic physics, model & terrain prototype/modeling)
      • Avi: physics (wiggly/ragdoll?)
      • Kewen & Kaihao: 1. terrain and 2. player prototype, model prototyping
      • Michael: connect, camera
      • Yuchuan : movement, pickup, try single hand pickup?
    • INTEGRATE the above (could stretch to next week)
  • week 6: Character designs (based on animals) and maps, game level 1 setup (code)
    • score system
  • week 7: level 1 finish up and starting starting area (code), animations, details in the models and the map
    • integration
  • week 8: gadgets (code and model), character special skills
  • week 9: continue week 8 and integration
  • week 10: lightings, post processing ... Ready to demo a game for alpha testing (better to have beta)
• briefly summarize any other topics/discussions
  • we talked about player design; we are thinking to have animals as players and design their ability to move/drag/jump in accordance to their strength/specialties in real life. Like a seal would move on its fin and can't pick up two stuff at once; a monkey could pick up two things at once, and can jump higher, but moves slower with stuffs in hand
