Development Meetings:

First we meet during class from 3pm to 6pm on Mondays. Then on Tuesday we meet again from 1pm to 3pm to go over the specifics of what we are adding to the game for the week as well as future planning.

On top of this, we have more informal lab sessions throughout the week that take place VIA discord, where members hop in a voice call to talk through development or brainstorm beyond our meetings.

Software: 

Game development is done on Unity and 3D asset creation is primarily done in Maya. If you are more comfortable with another tool for 3d asset creation, that should also not be an issue as long as the exported files are .obj or .fbx. 

Version Control:

We utilize GitHub for our version control and use GitHub Projects to manage what everyone is currently working on.
