Meeting #1

We held our first team meeting today. We hold weekly team meetings to get everyone on the same page and discuss big ticket items. We don’t have a game idea yet, so we spent most of the meeting brainstorming ideas. We set a goal of finalizing the game idea by the end of the month. Most of us are in middle of Beta in our real life jobs, so it’s going to be hard to focus on Dream Build Play in the short-term.

The brainstorming process we followed was very free form. People basically threw out ideas and others built on them or evolved them slightly. We took some basic notes and tried not to dwell on any one idea for too long. At the end we reviewed and determined which ideas we liked. We wrote those down and will take them to the next stage.

The next stage is what we call a 1-pager. It’s basically a brief overview of the game idea written down, with a conceptualization screen shot. These screen shots were really helpful last time around in quickly getting other people up the speed on the idea. We will be reviewing all the 1-pagers next week and hopefully narrow down on a few we like to develop even further.
