Hi,

This week has been all about meeting my group for the project. I was very happy to be on the team for the Text Based Adventure project. It was nice to read their introductions and get to talk to them over Discord. We all seem to be on the page as far as how we want to work on the project. I’m looking forward to utilizing github with code approval and a customized workflow as I feel this will help me get used to what its like to work in the industry. Also I think this will be the largest project I will have done using github so it will be fun to see what challenges arise from pushing a lot of code to the repository.

As far as getting inspired for the project I have been been playing Collosal Cave Adventure as that is the most renowned text-based adventure game I could think of. The tone of the narrator is very similar to a DnD type game and this is fitting as it relies on the player’s imagination to provide the visuals for the ‘cave’. I think a similar fantasy world approach could be used by our group but I also think this type of game could be used for any genre imaginable. I’m looking forward to seeing what the members in my group propose.
