As such we have set our own goals to complete at least 4 tasks a week as a group, however, the weekly updates will pause over this time as it is a lot harder to track what is actually being completed by the group as we enter a much more &#8216;informal&#8217; communication period. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another large discussion has been about another deadline we have set ourselves to do with the boss monster. We feel that the boss monster is now too important to the core gameplay loop of the game for the mob to be skipped off of the list. And as such that will be a huge focus as we come back off of the break. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This page was written, formatted &amp; Reviewed by Joshua Bates<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Player Enemies Dungeon Scene Tutorial Scene Obstacles UI\/UX Hub\/ Dungeon ?
