Sadly, this is the final week for this group project but I am happy that we managed to make a great game together and achieved what we set out to do.
Saturday 9th December 2023
This weeks stand up started with me apologising for my lack of work last week, thankfully the group was understanding. After my apology the artist shared that they had finished work on the art backlog. Next came assigning work to do, as the artist had finished the backlog and there is no more new art needed they had no work assigned to them this week. I then assigned myself the task of finishing off the 2nd playtest feedback improvements.

This week before our stand up we conducted the 2nd playtest with people in the classroom. It was nice to see other people play the game and hear their feedback both positive and negative.

This weeks stand up went fast, the artist had finished the app icons and the majority of his work and I had made most of the play test changes. This week I assigned the artist to finish off what was left in the art backlog and myself to finish off the 1st play test changes, add in the new app icons and make a 2nd build for the play store.
Sunday 19th November 2023
This week during our stand up we mainly discussed the changes that needed to be made. After the standup I assigned myself to make the changes and the artist once more was finishing off the remaining game art, however I noticed that unity supports androids adaptive icons so I also asked the artist to work on the art needed to make those work.

This entry is over 2 weeks as not much work could be done until we had the game on the play store and had gotten user feedback. At the start of week 5 I uploaded the first build for approval on the google play store, as week 5 was also reading week I decided to let my team take a break from this assignment to enjoy their break and work on other assignments while we were waiting for the google play approval.

This week also started with a stand up meeting. The artist is still doing good work with no need for suggestions to improve. The other programmers work is shockingly bad, his main menu is just a text box with the wrong name for the game and a start button with code that will not work in most situations. I then showed the combination of the drag and drop and the rooms and the group was happy to see the game coming together.
Friday 20th October 2023
To start this week we had a stand up meeting in which we went over what we had done. The artist is progressing through his work at a good speed and a good quality. On the other hand the programmers work is leaving a lot to be desired, since last weeks discussion about how to improve his work to a useable quality he has only added a restart button which is not something that we had discussed and still leaves his work unusable. I then showed my progress on the drag and drop mechanic which worked as expected.
Friday 13th October 2023
This week one of the programmers in the group was removed due to a lack of work, consistently being late and other reasons. As such I assigned myself to the mechanic he was supposed to be working on (the drag and drop).
Saturday 7th October 2023
After forming groups during the lesson last week this week is the first that we have had to start working on our mobile game. My group consists of myself 2 other programmers and an artist. After a bit of discussion I was quickly named group leader as thanks to doing a placement year I had experience with how projects should be managed. Following this we discussed ideas for what kind of mobile game we should make.
