Finished!
Last Thursday, all ENGG 253 students had their open houses in Macewan Hall. All of these presentations were greatly successful, and had a profound impact on those who attended. Due to the conflicting nature of the scheduling, many students had to miss out on class for this life changing event. These students demonstrated amazing commitment to the success of the group as a whole. In Yellow Lab A, these students consisted of Rabih, Davin, Graham, Mike G, Andrei, Lizzy, and Mike L to name a few. These students exemplify what a team is and what is needed for a successful project. Thank you all, sincerely, from the rest of Lab A
In preparation for the open house, the lab was focused on creating the design manual, group poster and game integration in the past week. Project Management focused on organizing the work distribution throughout the lab. They also completed the poster and design manual with help from various other members of the lab. Neeraj, Davin and Graham primarily did the integration of the game, and without their hard work, the entire project would have been a complete failure.
Possible Improvements
The last week proved to be very stressful and busy for the entire lab, as we had failed to plan much ahead and were forced to finish the design manual, poster and integration during the span of about 2 days. This made for an exiting finish, but we could have done without the added stress. If we were to do this again, we surely would try to understand the scope of the project first and then we would ensure we are finished the actual games with at least one or two weeks to spare. This would allow us to use the two weeks before the open house to finish the other components mentioned above.
Overall, this project taught us how to design a video game from an engineering perspective and commanded us to think outside of the box as an entire team.
