Week 9 - Assignment 3 Begins
Group Formation
This week marked the beginning of the third assignment where we were tasked with showing our previously developed game to the class and people would ask if they could work on improving that game as a group. After presenting my Attack of the Fission Slimes One Sheet a few people asked if they can help work on a better version of the game. Soon we had a group ready, including two programmers; myself and Ryuto, a very talented artist; Flynn, and someone who’s good with words; Scott. This way we can work on the back end of game, as well the art and the documentation and survey writing later down the road.
Project Management Timeline
Once we decided on everyone’s roles, I gave myself the role of Project Manager since it would make sense to put me in charge of my own game we’re working on. Thus I began working on the Project Management Timeline as part of the Part A of the assignment. This way we ensured every piece of work was completed by a deadline so we can finish the assignment to its most complete state before the final assignment submission deadline.
Communication Methods
Soon after everyone was satisfied with the way the Timeline was planned, Flynn and Scott set up the format for Part A so everything looked neat, along with a nice background to go with it. We also thought it was a great idea to stay in touch through Discord, an instant messaging platform, so we could check up on how everyone’s going with their work, daily.
For the next two weeks we will be finalising our work for Part A, so that we could start on creating the next version of Attack of the Fission Slimes!
