Team integration: I spent time setting up perforce,slack, trello and more. I also read the design documents to get myself better acquainted with the game from inside.

The biggest thing this week was the Sunday meeting, which consisted of discussing assets needed for the current games. I was a little worried about making new games so I took the initiative of starting a group-wide brainstorming session which went well. We have some good ideas for more games, but I wish John and Ryan could have been there since they are both new and have great ideas. Hopefully we will be able to have another one in class.

I worked on storyboards for the launch game idea, better detailing the game flow of that micro-game idea.
