DH2650 Game Dev Journey - Week 1

Last week marked the beginning of our game development project, and the team is optimistic. We have a collective focus on development and some design skills. As we delve into the nuances of game design, I have high expectations about the potential outcomes we could achieve.

We kicked off the project with a collaborative brainstorming session, during which we shared what drives us about game development. Thanks to this, I established common topics we were aligned with—action-oriented problem-solving, character-environment interaction, and unexpected events—setting the stage for further development and exploration.

At the end of the week, we gathered to share initial ideas and thoughts and discuss, and each picked an idea to create a robust concept to present in the upcoming week. We will review the concepts and vote to decide on a final [proposal to implement.

Next steps:

  1. Meet and select a final idea
  2. Agree on features from other ideas we might want to include
  3. Pick a date for the internal Game Jam
  4. Set and distribute responsibilities to put together the presentation slides.
