Meeting Plans

For the Computer Science sub-team, we hold a dedicated weekly meeting every Wednesday at 1 PM. These meetings serve as a central touchpoint for our team to stay aligned and maintain momentum throughout the development cycle. At the beginning of each session, we review the status of tasks assigned in the previous sprint, identify any blockers or technical challenges, and discuss how those can be resolved collaboratively. We then proceed to distribute new tasks for the upcoming week, ensuring that responsibilities are clearly assigned based on each member's area of expertise, whether it's gameplay mechanics, UI integration, backend logic, or system optimization.

The meetings also give us a space to share progress updates, demo features in development, and gather immediate feedback from peers. This iterative communication loop helps us catch bugs early, refine our design choices, and make quick adjustments when needed. Additionally, we use this time to sync up with the Art and Music sub-teams to ensure that implementation on the code side is aligned with the creative vision. Trello is our primary tool for tracking progress, where we organize our tasks by sprint, label them by category (CS, Art, Music), and assign point values to estimate effort. These structured weekly check-ins have been instrumental in keeping our development on schedule and ensuring a smooth, collaborative workflow across the entire team.

Over the course of our game development project, we’ve structured our workflow into multiple sprints, each focusing on specific components of gameplay, design, and user experience.
