We have 3 weeks of prep work before the Vermont State Game Design competition.

By April 1 we need to have a “Prototype / Sample” of our video game.

The first thing we are doing today is reading the Game Design alpha testing feedback with our partners. While we don’t have to agree with the feedback 100%, we have to hear it with an open mind.

Once you and your partner parse through the feedback, it is time to go through and adapt your GDD and workflow toward creating the MVP, or minimum viable product to present to the judges.

Our MVP is going to be what at a minimum do we have to have to present to the judges. Not with all the bells and whistles, not complete, not perfect – but the minimum we have to have to be able to pitch to the judges.

Check your CAWD Game Design Document.

Check out the CAWD Game Design Alpha Feedback.

Read through the feedback with your partner. See if there are some common pieces of feedback that you can agree with. Throw out feedback that has outliers that aren’t consistent.

Address as needed – update your section on the GDD, and get to it! Whatever you say your are going to document, document it with work product.

Document progress in your folder tomorrow by 12:15.
