Summary:
Due to the tight schedules, we only managed to meet today at 12pm. But luckily, it’s in person, and we progressed a lot, from the GDD presentation feedback to finalize more features, and started with the code for the first playable. While the two of us were finalizing the details of all assets and coming up with the first level layout design, two of us were implementing features of the mechanic. The protagonist of the game has been redesign a bit and the layout of first level is been designed thoughtfully based on the environment setting and the back story. The programmers also discussed with the artists to settle down the design ideas. We also looked for more inspirations of the environment, and soundtracks.
Contributions:
I gave some feedback/suggestion. I split up the coding sections for the programmers, then I have coded the movement of climbing up and down, and started code for the stealthing mechanic, allowing protagonist to hide in and behind objects. For the code, I have also looked into protagonist health and enemy attacking, and most importantly the enemies’ sight range detection. For inspiration, I looked for post-apocalyptic environment and some soundtracks for screaming, breathing and environmental.

Reflections:
First of all, I need to apologize to the team that I haven’t done much coding for this week, because of time management with other courses. I would have to pull up tight for the future schedules and not delaying the progress of the team, so we don’t finish everything before the last minute of the deadline.
Secondly, I don’t like source tree! Retrieving the code file from the server is extremely annoying. During the meeting, I tried to use source tree to get the starting code from the server, but it just doesn’t want to work properly. The file retrieved have either missing file, or it won’t update after the file uploaded. Struggled to get the file and open it, some attribute the other programmer did was missing. T_T
