TEAM ROLES DUE TONIGHT

Ok everyone... Team roles are due bu midnight tonight Here is what we need...


Assignment 6 - Team Roles
Meet with your teams and finalize team roles.  Then send me one email for the whole team, including which roles each team member will fill.  You should have:
  • Producer
  • Designer(s)
  • Programmer(s)
  • Artist(s)
  • Audio Engineer
  • Scrum Captain
  • Scrum Leader (this person acts as the voice of the player)
People can fill more than one role, just try to make sure the workload is shared evenly.


So what I have so far:

 

Producer: Nephi Self

Designers: Haydn Olsen, Chase Chlarson

Programmer lead: Kyle Ray

        Programmer Assist: Nephi Self

 Artists: Lya Yang, Jeffery Lou,

Audio Engineer:

Scrum Captain: Samantha Teaney

Scrum Leader: Not sure what the difference is here but


So anyway I need a volunteer for the sound engineer and the scrum captain / leader - 

Then if someone knows what the hay the difference is between the scrum captain and Leader maybe you could fill me in on that too... I feel dumb :(


Thanks guys and gals!! Post quick so I can get this sent in before the deadline...

  2. Oh man now is finally my chance to have a game where all the music is basslines. But i don't have sound editing software. Do they have Sound Editing software in the mac lab? Or does anyone know of a free sound editing program?

    1. Audacity is open source and is a good sound editing software. I'm 99% sure that the labs (both Windows and Mac) have the software even Adobe Audition (Adobe's sound editing software). If none of those options work then I can get you access to the Engineering labs which I know have the software.

    1. Also should me or Hayden do this or should Samantha do it since it was her idea?

    2. I did see it, But it looks like Sami is unavailable at the moment...
      Could you throw something together really quick? You could collaborate with Hayden on it if you'd like... And I'll try and get things more squarely nailed down tomorrow... It's been a tough week for communication with the snow and stuff...

      And I'll go ahead and get the "Team roles" assignment turned in...

      Thanks Chase!

  4. Sorry I've been in class and running errands all day until now. Team roles I'm totally cool with, though I have no idea was scrum means lol. As for a pitch, do we wanna meet up like 20 minutes before class starts and pull it together? I'm cool making a pitch for it if no one wants to do it, but collabs are good too.

    1. Im not entirely sure but i think it may have to be turned in tonight. not sure though.

    2. Sami - Are you available that you and Chase could get in touch and hammer out a pitch? I would love to get you're vision in there if that's possible :)

    3. Ill see what i can do but it will be rather last minute and im not sure how well it will represent the final idea.

      Delete
    4. Not a problem - I think it just needs to represent the gist of the concept... Then we'll get with Sami and the rest of the group tomorrow and get a more solid concept...

      Thanks Chase - You Rock!!

  6. Yeah hey Chase if you wanna meet up a bit before class that would be awesome. I'm at my internship all day tomorrow until then and I'm about to crash. But I will check the blog tomorrow morning and try to think of some stellar ideas.

    1. Yeah I can do that, Ill write up a short paper to turn in for the night.

    2. The final pitch apparently has to be presented in class tomorrow so we'll get it better solidified with you tomorrow Sami and then if you would, we'll have you present you're baby to the class :)

      Thanks Chica! :)

    3. So im writing a paper to turn in tonight and then we will write a second paper to present in class tomorrow? Or do we not need to e-mail a design in tonight?

      Delete
    4. Sort of... the assignment says we have to write a pitch - which is due tonight - and then we have to present it to the class tomorrow... So I was suggesting we polish up you're pitch - with Sami's assistance - tomorrow and then she'll present that version to the class.

      Is that what you we're asking?

      The Real Dating Sim
      Concept: A serious video game designed to help you actually talk to the opposite (or same) sex, by presenting you with more realistic situations than most dating sims. By using the personal experience of everyone in the group we hope to achieve a very realistic dating sim, while still having fun game play for an overall great experience.
      Game play: At the start of the game you create your character and give him some basic stats such as his/her name, their sexual orientation, etc. Then you start at your house where your basic amenities are, along with your computer which you can use to save your progress, talk to a potential date, or even use a dating service. You will also have a phone which you can use to call people you meet in game. From your house you can visit various locations (Campus, Mall, Library, Park, etc.) in order to meet potential dates. Once you meet them you start to try and converse with them in hopes of getting a phone number. You then can call them to set up a time to start the date, and then you date and try to woo them. The game ends after a set amount of days determined by the player which then you are given a score based on how long you were in a relationship vs. how long you weren’t. You can then play again to get better at talking to the preferred sex and maybe try to woo a different character the second or third play through.
      Characters: We plan to have at least 2 straight males and 2 straight females, 2 bi-males and 2 bi-females, and 2 homosexual men and 2 homosexual women. Each of these characters will be drawn by our many talented artists.

      Its a little short and is quite vague but i feel we will be graded more on the in class presentation. I also feel we should maybe add some more to the game-play to make it a bit more fun but we can talk about that tomorrow.

    6. Sorry if this is nothing near what you all had talked about.
