Week 1
My team, for future reference, includes Sean Taliaferro, Beau Dicus, Tanner Collins, and myself. Dr. Jeff Howard is also an honorary member who is helping us out, while leading his own group as well.
Problems encountered during the first week were many. Scheduling was the main culprit, as all four of us on the team have different schedules. I was the main contender for the most difficult schedule, as 19 credits and 2 part time jobs (that must take place between 9 and 5) take up most of the week. Who knew. This problem was further complicated by the fact that one of my jobs has not been approved yet, and I don’t know the times that I will be working there for sure. We/I solved this problem by deciding to have all of my 2-hour work blocks on the weekends (2 on Saturday, 2 on Sunday).
I installed Inform 7 on my machine, which may prove to be a vital step in the upcoming semester. In fact, I believe that this step will prove to be the most crucial step that I can do for the entire project.
Sean showed me how to control the radio and music in inform, which I found to be extremely awesome.
We discussed the game design documents, and started laying out stories and tasks on Trello. I am confused at the moment, however, as their appears to be 2 Trello boards for our game, one of which has only Sean and me, while the other contains everybody from the team (including Dr. Howard), but has none of the cards with our stories and tasks. Further investigation is required as to the necessity of both boards.
Side note here. I believe I will be keeping these logs, and perhaps posting them on a blog or something. Again, further investigation is required.
