Daniel Shalala | Week 4: Cacophonous Discord

WEEKLY NARRATIVE

This week was strange as things go. for our game stuff we finalized a great many things, as well as established the starting point for others. We have the ghost wall mechanic and the footstep mechanic in the game now, which is great. I also started working on concepts for the memento design but they are not as good as I'd like them as of yet. There are many different things that I have planned for environmental storytelling. I spoke of many of these things with Chris Lucas, the art lead during the team meeting, this next week will see these designs worked on.

The title this week comes from literally the largest storm of messages I ever got from the team discord. The context of this was the team was unsure as to what the powers would be for the game, so instead of calling a meeting everyone put their two cents into our discord's Design channel. Later on in the week, specifically Sunday, was when the Superbowl happened. I'm glad to say that the Eagles beat the Patriots! I'm disappointing to say that it kept me from working on my stuff, as I had to use my computer as the streaming device for my apartment.
