Welcome, everyone, to another sprint. As we push forward in our project, the challenges we conquer as a team, absolutely amaze me.  With that being said, lets get started :).

Does anyone have any comments, questions, or concerns about the agenda they are assigned too?  If you need your agenda defined better or you're not sure where to start, please post on the kanban discussion any questions and we can start figuring it out as a team.

@James and Robert, For the chat sounds, I'm thinking a loopable ringtone for when someone invites you to chat, and a short notification sound whenever you are in chat and someone sends a new message. How does that sound?

@Shayn That sounds good to me.

Thanks,
James Fleming

"Sounds" good Shayn! :)

@Robert Will you try to reproduce that error again? If you get it an error screen should show up for you.  Please highlight all the text and message me it.

Thanks,
James Fleming

Sure thing

Been AWOL the past couple of days and for this I apologize. Had to go take care of my dad whose health is getting bad. Should be on deck for the rest of the sprint though. Peace

@Matthew I hope everything is ok with you dad.

@Team I have been in Texas all week but should be back Tuesday. So I can continue the 3d modeling I hope to have a screen shoot by the end of this sprint.

Thanks,
James Fleming

@Anthony Where are we at with your agenda? Should we get on TV to insure we are on the same page?

Thanks,
James Fleming

@James I was finally able to get the project to run again. 

@James, 

The GDD update,I changed the bullet points all into numbering, which makes it easier to refer to something. 

Also changed the bold titles, everything that is now bold, is in my opinion the most important part (includes some titles), the italic writing is for small overall description about the following content.

@Johannes Ok awesome I will review it tonight.

@Nick That is great news so you are stable now and ready to go? I am trying to get a meeting going with Anthony so you can join us.

Thanks,
James Fleming

The GDD seems to be pretty easy to follow so far. I'm checking the outline to ensure it sticks to it. So far so good. It may get more intense as more story is written. One thing I might suggest is an outline that details the story the. Characters in ch1 follow. So not the enemies, tutorial steps, upgrades, environmental hazards etc. Just the story. Let me know though, perhaps I'm nit picking.

@Claude- are you wanting an outline that deals only with the story elements of chapter 1? I didn't quite understand your message. Also,you're not nit picking,the more detail we get now,the better our understanding as a team and theres that much less to go wrong down the pipe.
-Matthew-

@James. I've been working and haven't started I will start tonight and then I have some time the next two days I will be pushing to get this done. Hopefully my schedule will level out this next week and I will be able to devote a little more attention to my work

@Claude, good you like the GDD, but what exactly are you talking about the story? Do you want a summary of the story in the GDD or were you referring to Matthew? 

@James Yep. I was also able to recovery the code I was working when my hard drive started acting up.

@James,
I extended the "Chat Invitation Sound" agenda for Shayn.

@Robert Ok Thank you for letting me know.

Thanks,
James Fleming

I will be home in a few hours to upload the assets

@ James When you review my task, the two objects you provided both just showed up as cubes. I didn't see any animation on one or the other. Also I know they don't spawn level on terrain, I need to research more about physics in Xenko to get the physics right so that it will always find the ground. I would have done more before submitting but seeming to have a pc issue that I am looking into

@James or Robert, I am able to upload my assets now, however the agenda won't allow me to upload them since they are part of next sprint. Is it possible for it to be opened so I can upload it now? If not, I can wait until next sprint, and you can just assign me another agenda along with the chat sound.

@Shayn, ( per our conversation on chat)
It will be re assigned on the next sprint. Perhaps we can make another agenda as "volunteers needed" on the next sprint as well.

Cheers!

Hey guys, Sorry for the absence. Work got a little crazy this week. What I meant was defining solely the story for the first theater. I like how everything is going with the outline for assets within the theater (ie enemies, evironmental hazards, special weapons, etc) but having a story outline may help the designers have a feel for the environment and atmosphere. P.S.- I'm still working on a balance for school, home life, and work. Especially since my laptop bit the dust. If you have something that needs my immediate attention please PM me on FB.

Hey guys, what's going on?
Is there anything I need to do to help us move forward on to the next sprint?

I just finished and submitted a full Grammatical edit on the first chapter. Let me know if you see anything I missed.
