Work Tasks
| Date | Task Description | Time Spent | Was / Were your choices and work Best Practices? Why? |
| 10-23 | Consulted team, created the game, added many placeholders, got character moving how I wanted, added in platforms | 90 secs, 5 min, 10 min, 20 min, 20 min | I’d argue they were some of the best, as you can’t really have a platformer game without these essentials. |
| 10-24 | Consulted team about how the player should move, playtested game, added solid platforms, created pits, playtested game, begun work on dash mechanic | 2 min, 7 min, 10 min, 5 min, 3 min, 30 min | I feel this was a pretty good usage of my time, but I do think I ought to have tried to find a slightly shorter tutorial for the dash. |
| 10-25 | Consulted team about their ideas on the dash, completed work on dash mechanic, playtested the dash | 5 min, 45 min, 5 min | Pretty much the same as yesterday – Not terrible usage, I just wish I had been a little quicker with the dashing. |
| 10-26 | Consulted team to see if the dash worked for everybody, added in placeholder enemies, started to work on the enemy’s movement, playtested | 2 min, 3 min, 50 min, 3 min | I do wish I hadn’t paid as much attention to where the placeholder enemies went (given that they were placeholders), but I do think I made some good progress on the basic enemies. |
| 10-27 | Consulted team on how they thought it was going, worked on how to destroy the enemies, worked on this blog post | 90 secs, 32 min, 25 min | I do wish I had kept a record of what I had been doing beforehand so recalling what happened wouldn’t have taken quite so long, so that’s something for next week. |

I think I had a fairly solid first week. I feel like my creative juices could’ve been flowing a little stronger to keep me going, so hopefully next week will be able to go a little smoother.
