Daniel Shalala | PPJ Week 1: Attack Commences in 30 seconds

WEEKLY NARRATIVE

Hello everyone! I'm Daniel Shalala! I'm looking forward to working with everyone this quarter. I have been given the responsibility of being one of the four cardinal producers which is awesome. On to business now, the majority of this week was taken up by figuring out the logistical decisions that the merger between the two groups required as well as figuring out exactly what we needed to have with story requirements to bring our game to life. The first meeting was a simple yet very informative exercise to connect the new groups together and to figure out who was responsible for which. We spent a great deal of time deciding about the scope and the story of the game. We have a concrete idea about where we wanted to go. I am glad that those who attended the meeting came with such zeal, because we figured out exactly where we needed to go as a group and as an evolving game. The largest change would be the idea that  we aren't just in a hospital anymore, rather we are in a hospital for the first level but we will be switch to a second level that is different, as well as a third level.
