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

The Audio Asset List looks good! Thanks a ton!

-Robert

@Robert Ok so the only other thing for that would be the type which has to be set on each one you want it categorized otherwise it will say unknown.

Thanks,
James Fleming

Oh, ok.
How do I do this? :)

@Robert On the view asset screens you will see a button for adding type. After you create the type you want you can edit any asset and set what type you want it categorized as.

Thanks,
James Fleming

Ok, I got it!

@James,

I already worked with unity, I was pretty fast "working" through the tutorial videos.

Ive sent you my account information. How do we proceed? Also I have some general ideas about the game design, if you like I send you a list?

@Johannes that is great can you post the idea here so everyone can discuss them please.

Thanks,
James Fleming
