Week 2 Blog... by Jordan Phillips

I am about three days late on this, but I figure I should get in on this blog action sooner rather than later. Otherwise I will consistently forget to do so.


What stages of the project am I on & how is it progressing? How or what could I improve?

Currently the team is working on the creation of our map. I helped develop the rough drafts of our map as well as the overall flow of the level, as well as helped come up with some landmark ideas. Aside from this I anticipate research efforts toward making our 16th century Caribbean world feel authentic.

Did I change my milestone goals? If so, why?

Our only milestone as of now is to have our design document prepared for 10/28/10. My share of the work is to have a clean design of our level flowchart. If there is anything else to be done I will eagerly take up the task.

How did I deal with the problems that came up?

No hang-ups as of yet. I would pray we wouldn't have any so soon!

What is working and what is not working in the planning & implementation of the project?

This answer would look very similar to the previous one. What is working is that seemingly, we are at least working. A good vital sign for how young our project is.

Briefly describe your time spent and any problems (within team, computer issues, etc.)

I can't say that I've spent any time outside of class yet doing anything. However I am confident that I will have everything prepared for the design document, as well as everyone else. I can say that I am ready to start doing things outside of class relatively soon. The only problems we have run into are absences, but it seems that this is not much of an actual problem. Hopefully this will remain to be a non-issue. We have good people on our team and enough leadership and motivation all around in order to get things done.

Evaluate the project as a whole including team members, if applicable.

I am excited for this project and I definitely look forward to working with this group. The fact that I have little concern of any weak links is a great sign, because often I am pretty pessimistic about group dynamics. I have been a weak link myself, and absolutely do not intend on ever feeling like such a turd again. Wonderfully, this is not one of those cases and I hold an optimistic scope on this group project. So tally ho, les do this!
