Meeting Minutes 9/23/2010
Today, after the agile talk, we focused on what was the most important aspects of the talk. We decided to narrow it down into a few things.
- Prioritize
- Prototype
- Welcome Change
- Commit as a Team
- Transparency
Following this discovery, we decided that we really needed to figure out some the core features of our game and then to prioritize the creation of those features.
Number one on our list was all about creating the character and trying to figure out how to control the character and what we will allow the players to do. We broke this down into smaller details that will be reflected into the documents page on this website.
We did the same for our number two, which was to create the rules of the worlds and how to show visibility/invisibility and all the other stuff. This will also be on one of our living docs in the website.
