List of Completed Tasks - Met with new team for the first time to get on the same page and discuss deliverables and roles, I volunteered to work on the Art Team and Design Team (1 hour) - Reviewed Oil and Cordite documentation from Workshop 1 to familiarize myself with the game (30 min) - Brainstormed ideas in Discord throughout week about lighting, models, character design, level design, mood boards, and story (3 hours) - Created mood board for level design, finding and compiling reference images (1 hours)

Total number of hours: 5hr 30min
Sample(s) of work: The mood board I created which helped spark ideas about level creation

What Went Right: We have lots of great ideas about how we can move forward with the game! The Journey's End Team offers skill sets in art and story, something that pairs well with the direction the original Oil and Cordite Team wanted to go in.
What Went Wrong: This week was messy. It took a while to adjust to the new team size, dynamic, and management systems, we had members miss meetings, new members join throughout the week, communication failures, and an overall imbalance of who did what for the deliverables. As we feel more comfortable with each other and the direction of the game, hopefully all of this will be ironed out, but for the time being, I don't believe we are as unified and efficient as we should be.
Working on Next: - Refine level design ideas with Design Team - Provide ideas and feedback to Art Team as needed - Help update playtest survey - Contribute to status report presentation

Bug Fixes/ Random Tweaks and Testing/Polish - 3 Hours Code Refactoring - 1 Hour Post Processing - 2 Hours Rumble Implementation - 2 Hours Overview I think artistically and game feel wise this week was very productive. This was thanks to the menus being filled out with 2d art and the implementation of Unity's Post Processing as well as the Beautify, another processing solution. Additionally rumble was added which adds a lot of impact to the collisions in the game, as well as allows the player to feel in heat increase better. Bug Fixes Tons of minor bugs were fixed and time was spent tweaking values. Not all of these are worth mentioning but I'll list the biggest ones: Fixed a issue where the player would rotate inappropriately after colliding with an object, causing the player controls to become inaccurate. Fixed issues where the prefabs were not consistent between scenes and not being saved properly. Fixed an issue where pausing the gam...

Rex Christian Personal Postmortem

Personal Postmortem Things that went right: 1:  Group member roles and workloads were typically very well defined and separated. We had very few issues with overlapping or conflicting work. 2: We communicated pretty effectively and easily contacted each other when we needed help or coordination while adding to the game. 3: We all mostly agreed on our vision for the game, and never really had any arguments or disputes regarding how the game should play or look. Things that went wrong: 1: Most of our work happened 1-2 days before the due date, and sometimes we'd even be patching bugs and getting things working mere minutes before class started. 2: Though we met on most weekends, we only planned our work during those meetings. We actually DID the work separately, only to meet right before class and compile it all at the last minute. 3: Sometimes features that were largely complete wouldn't make it in the week that we'd made them because we'd encounter a bug or ...
