Trung Tin Pham | PPJ Week 2: Cameras and Meetings

WEEKLY NARRATIVE

This week was filled with attending meetings for various subjects and to get caught up on the project and help decided what direction to move forward with. 

I attended meetings for sole programming (especially with camera use and what direction to go in order to not make the camera bad), level design, and story, in addition to the general meeting on Friday where I was caught up to the new art direction and had my questions on that answered. 

From these meetings, we decided to update the game to Unity version 2017.3, use Cinemachines, a free camera asset from the asset store for the camera, use Rewired for controller input, and have a concrete story and art direction. Both Cinemachine and Rewired have been integrated. Trello was also decided over HacknPlan for task management.
