The Beginning of Final Project

February 7, 2008

So today starts Final Project. Just five months till I finish with a great game (hopefully) and graduate from Full Sail. So today we got our groups. My group is already presented with an interesting challenge because we are the only team that only has 5 team members (all the others have 6) but we are already rising to the challenge. The jobs so far (not 100% set in stone) Me Project Lead, Naveen Nattam (his blog is over there on the right) Technology Lead, Scott Rodda Interface Lead, Franklin Ludgood Gameplay Lead, CP Wilkinson Asset Lead. We have some great initial ideas and have already started researching to see how they will work. All in all I am really excited for the next five months they will be hard but fun I am sure. Well that is all 10 days to GDC I am really excited.

Also my website is now almost completly finished. I have put up more projects, some design docs, and my resume both on the page and for download. Check them out and let me know what you think. grantshonkwiler.com
