Codname Narwhale is GO.
Yes, that's right, our end-of-course project began today. Eight weeks to make a game - two of pre-production, five and a half of production, and a couple of days at the end for our post-mortem.
And yeah, the project's codename is Narwhale.
Why? Long-running in-class joke which we've figured a way of integrating into the final game. Should be fun and enjoyable for everybody. Except maybe our tutor - he has no sense of humour.
Anyhoo, I'm Project Manager. Mostly from no-one else wanting to do it, rather than any aspirations of mine. Actually, I lie - I did covet the position just a little, otherwise I would've been a lot more reticent in my picking it. However, the position isn't finalised - our tutor has to agree to our choices, which will be interesting in my case, as I'm pretty sure he's managed to develop a bit of a grudge against me. Wouldn't surprise me - I'm none too fond of the chap either.
I think we might have to set up a blog for our project once we get production underway. I'll link that through for the curious of you who'd like to look at what we're actually doing. Production is when it gets interesting - for the next couple of weeks we're just writing massive design docs. Fun times.
