Assignment 6.2: Weekly Journal

  Assignment 6.2: Weekly Journal

    This week was more fun than last week because I got to get my kids more involved than before. The undergrad team I think have all but forgot about us. I have heard nothing from anyone in the team at all this week again. I have also not reached out to them either, I want to, but I never know what I should say now. Not only that, but I feel like this team with us are too far lost to get back on track before this class is over with. Furthermore, I feel there was a real lack of communication and leadership within the undergrad team with Enitza and myself. 

    The game seems to be coming along nicely, from the screenshots the team as shared with Discord. When my kids were playing the game, there were some mini-games that they had a fun time with. My daughter really liked the animal sounds a lot, and they made her laugh. My son who is older at 13 asked a lot of tech questions about the game and how it works. He is now looking into making a mini-game inside of Roblox with his friends, so might have a gamer programmer in his future!

    Having my kids help me make the video part was a lot of fun, took hours because they would forget what they were going to stay. Or my daughter would smack her brother or say a bad word. We laughed harder than we have in a long time, it was differently nice to work together with them on a project and have that bonding time.

    Enitza and I have been talking quite about the pitch video and what else we need to include in the video pitch for the end project. We know we are missing the talking about Scrum and the team's leadership style. I feel the team probably have a leadership style that is working for them within their teams as they are hitting their milestones and spirits. Just whatever is working for them is just not really being shared with us. Well we are almost at the end and looking forward to seeing how everything comes out.

Weekly Journal 2.1

  This week has been interesting and frustrating for me to figure out what is going on with my group. I have talked with multiple people in the group, and I understand they are making a game and not use to working with a producer for their game before. As I have never worked with anyone designing a game before. So, trying to come to a middle ground on what the group needs and what I can do to help them meet this goal has been hard to say the least. Finally, we have agreed for me to test the game and answer questions on a tech sheet and write down what I find out. Also, they require a test audience for the game, well I have three kids myself a 13-year-old son, and a 11- and 5-year-old daughter that will be playing the game with me taking notes. I am hoping this will help my group answer some of the questions they have on game play and control. The group has set up a Trello board and held their group meetings in a Scrum environment. Which went by pretty fast with what each person...
