Nora's Week 7 Report

what were your concrete goals for the week?

My goals for this week were to combine work across the team and address bugs that are coming up as the system becomes more complex.

what goals were you able to accomplish?

I ended up focusing on implementing the task of stealing from the geisel library. This included me re-doing the model for the space station. I used Bernico's live object implementation to give the Bear's health. I implemented an inventory of space station stuff so that once you kill the bear it drops items to pick up. I used Jacky's tractor beam to pick said stuff up.

if the week went differently than you had planned, what were the reasons? note that this happens regularly...I would prefer you to be aggressive in what you want to try accomplish rather than limit yourself to goals you know you'll easily achieve. so answering this question is more of a reflection on the development process and the surprises you encounter, it's not at all an evaluation.

I think I picked up less tickets in terms of quantity than usual. However, I think the pr I worked on had a larger scope and more nuance than I was expecting. A lot of the work I was doing was dependent on other prs being merged, so I think I just worked a little slower than usual.

what are your specific goals for the next week?

My specific goals for next week are to maybe do a playtest with our group to see where the next most important work needs to be done. I think there are a few gameplay tasks that still need to be done, so I would probably pick up something like that.

what did you learn this week, if anything (and did you expect to learn it)?

I did not learn anything too new. Mostly like before, I was learning about how blender works and models in general. I realized I need to separate the bear and geisel models in order to apply live objects to the bears.

what is your individual morale (which might be different from the overall group morale)?
