Update 1 – a month and a half in

Our project is more or less underway now which is a crazy thing to think about in the grand scheme of things. Joining this class late it was a bit hectic as the day I joined I had to select my project and had limited choices due to the late entry. I am happy with my choice though as the broad nature of our project “Lets launch a game” has allowed us to make something that we are genuinely passionate and interested in. Our concept of Outbreak Island is a survival/adventure game where an experimental disease has ravaged a research island and you as a scientist must discover what happened and escape. The introductory assignments to help flesh out our plan and design have been extremely helpful for the most part. I personally believe the problem statement was very pointless for our project however. This was due to the open ended nature of our project being more or less that we can make whatever kind of game we wanted and for that assignment in particular we did not necessarily have a “problem” we are trying to solve or develop for. Ending on our Team Design Document I think we have put together an excellent plan moving forward and am excited to get into the nitty gritty and actually start building a game. In my own life I am excited that we are officially into the winter season. Hoping to get some snow down in Southern California soon so I can get some skiing in.
