10:05 Today’s Notes & Attendance
- Week 33 begins today!
- Primary focus this week is to make a big dent in the development of your game. Best not to miss days….
- To be successful, I encourage you to have a clear plan of what you want to accomplish. Don’t get caught in the design stage doing environmental art. Design should be the logic and play of your game, not the look (for now)
