RPP3: Daily Dev Blog Post 02

Welcome to Day Two!

In today's meeting, we narrowed down our core idea, platform, and mechanics and are ready to launch into production! We also chose our Team Challenges to earn points throughout the round. We chose:

Demo using a guinea pig (selected by A-Team)              5 Points

Blog a daily dev diary of your progress                           3 Points

Hold daily standup meetings in person (on weekdays)    2 Points

Make a detailed schedule and report on progress            1 Point

Get all team members to fully use Perforce                     1 Point

Get all team members to fully use a task tracker             2 Point

Avoid an all-nighter (no one at any time)                        2 Point

Plan a team-building outing (not just a meal)                  1 Point

Let's see if we can make these happen for a total of 17 Points! We're planning on establishing a traditional Excel Sheet with our soft and hard deadlines on it as well as a Trello board to keep everyone on board and on track.

We decided to stick with our idea of a frog character in a platform game, and add unique Tongue Mechanics™ to give our game a differentiator. If you want the top secret specifics, you'll have to play the game!

See you tomorrow for another Daily Dev Update!
