Process Journal

Week 2

This week was mainly setup as other, more immediate large assigments in other courses took priority. I created the Unity project and other elements of the repository.

This did not change my design, as spending a week getting everything set up out of the way will prevent me wasting time later on.

My goals for next week are to actually begin development by creating the basic infrastructure of the game.

Week 3

This week I began work on the basics of the game, but due to other things eating into my time I got less done than I should have.

I decided to cull back the ambition of my project and skip procedural generation, since it was obvious other classes wouldn't allow me to focus on learning that.

My goals for next week are to finish basics by creating a test layout for the first playtest and finish adding the basic mechanics.
