I was going to do a post over the break, but it slipped my mind while I was enjoying the vacation. I'll post another one this Friday to even things out. Anyway, my team's game was cut and we're officially out of the race for greenlight. We did work on it more during the break to see if we can get one last shot, but Vinny told me that Bemis already shot that down.

I feel that overall, we did good as a team despite some mess ups and a few communication issues. We all knew what we wanted and we had an idea what direction we wanted to take it. But the problem, I believe, is that it required too much execution for the short time needed for it to be done and we started our narrow scope at a very late time.

There were bugs, some stuff we had to cut, and overall additional gameplay that we tried to add, but didn't make in time. I heard from some of the others that while we did improve the game more and more each time, it felt still incomplete and that maybe we choose to high a genre to apply.

I don't regret working on this project, I've learned a lot from it and from my team as well. I just hope that next semester I'm put in a team that will use my abilities to the fullest.

Well, tomorrow is the day we get our answer if were going to be in the presentation or not. We're going to challenge for stage four and I feel we might pass it, but thankfully we're in stage 3 so if Bemis and Eric think were good enough we should be fine. Our testers love our game and it's given us confidence that things are have been getting better so we should be okay. There are a few things that we are still glitching on, but they are easy fixes we can fix.

I just hope tomorrow will work out and everything will be great.

Well, I'm going to keep this short because I'm busy with a lot of other things, including this project, but here it goes. We've managed to come up with what changes we want our vertical slice to be and we've changed the level a lot for a better. We just need to finalize some stuff, test it, and then challenge this week.

We're then going to challenge for stage 4 the follow week as most of the requirements for that week are already being worked on as I type this. With luck, we'll be ready for the presentation soon.
