Establishing Team Expectations – 02.02.2026 Meeting Overview

Written by Ollie

In our second meeting, we needed to get together and discuss our expectations on how we would work as a group – things like how we would communicate, when our meetings would take place, etc.

–

Firstly we created a sheet of our individual work preferences, strengths and weaknesses to get a general vibe of how everyone wants to go about making the project. See below:

Our main task though was to create a “team contract” of sorts: laying out what we expect from each other and our motivations for the project.

We settled on a list of objectives, displayed further below but also summarised here in written form for clarity.

• Store the project using a shared GitHub
• Maintain a backup of all group files using OneDrive

• Have weekly meetups: Tuesday afternoons (starting at 1pm) & Friday afternoons before games business class (also starting 1pm)

• Use Slack for online communication: one channel for posting/sharing our work and another for casual group talk

• Don’t rule out any conflicting ideas. Experiment and ideate, but still keep time constraints in mind!

• Set weekly deadlines and objectives to keep us motivated and working consistently

• What motivates us:
  • sense of achievement
  • fulfilling the game vision
  • creating a great player experience
