Hi everyone, welcome to the first week blog of team Mystique!

In week 1, we had our kick up meeting with Carl and Erin. Honestly, before the meeting, we have no ideas about what we are going to make and what we should expect. So in the meeting we communicate a lot with Carl and Erin to get more information about our project and understand the meaning of using Oculus to evoke specific emotion. After that we have a more clear vision about what we would do.

Also we have several team meetings to introduce ourselves, talk about each other’s role in the team and the purpose that we chose this project.

Ideas:

We brainstorm and come up with several ideas. It is a little hard difficult because we are not sure what we can do and what the advantage is using Oculus. But after we tried several free demos in Oculus Store, we have a sense of VR storytelling and begin to talk about some interesting ideas.

Development:

We decide to use stand up meeting as our agile development method to daily track and record the work of everyone.

For the weekly record and permanent record,  we have setup a Trello board to record our weekly progress so that everyone could see what we have done in past weeks and what we are going to do in next couple weeks.

Also we have made a schedule document which lists our core hour, team contact information and some important time points such as golden spike, the first prototype, the first play test and halves.

We have made a lot of progress in the first week and we all feel that the semester has begun!
