Work completed since previous meeting
Project proposal is completed.
Project proposal was okay but needs improvement which will be done for next
week
Market research and character design started.
Continue work for these over next week
Created a design outline for all microgames.
Good idea, need to create games quite soon to work these into relevant
documentation and work on prototype in future.
More communication channels created.
Work planned before next meeting
Platform Research for Development
As brought up during the meeting, Gamemaker has been chosen by us
without any evidence of research being done so a proper document needs to
be created with pros and cons of different frameworks.
Finish Market Research and Character Design
These can run over but the quicker these are done the less we have to worry
about our progress so aim to have these done within a week.
Risk Analysis updated
As brought up in the meeting, the risk analysis felt too throwaway like it was
done in a short amount of time with no care took to do it right. Risks should be
categorised as low, medium or high risk and have steps to avoid these.

Any Other Business

Talk about website
Website is okay but needs more info on the main page and blogs have to
have more reflection in them. We resolve to add more reflection and take a
different approach to doing blog entries.
Work on terminology
There seems to be too many plans which, when looked at by Jim seems to
suggest one thing that doesnt correspond with what was done. Work needs
to be done to improve terminology to avoid confusion.
Improve progress reports
Still progress reports feel too shallow and need more detail included in them
which will be worked on for the future.
