In our second meeting, we needed to get together and discuss our expectations on how we would work as a group<\/mark><\/strong> – things like how we would communicate, when our meetings would take place, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

–<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

–<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

We settled on a list of objectives, displayed further below but also summarised here in written form for clarity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Store the project using a shared GitHub<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Maintain a backup<\/strong> of all group files using OneDrive<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Have weekly meetups:<\/strong> Tuesday afternoons (starting at 1pm) & Friday afternoons before games business class (also starting 1pm)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • Use Slack for online communication<\/strong>: one channel for posting\/sharing our work and another for casual group talk<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        • Don’t rule out any conflicting ideas. Experiment and ideate, but still keep time constraints in mind!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          • Set weekly deadlines and objectives<\/strong> to keep us motivated and working consistently<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
              \n
            • What motivates us:\n
                \n
              • sense of achievement<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • fulfilling the game vision<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • creating a great player experience<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
