I typed up the notes on my computer during the meeting.

5) Did you discuss the game document?

Yes, I will be managing it mostly with Gaurav and Harish sending me information.

6) Did you pick a team leader. Why? Who is it? 

No team leader, but an oligarchy-
Story and Art/game doc- Gabby 
Level design and Miniquests/programming 1- Harish 
Sound and music/programming 2 - Gaurav

7) Please describe briefly some initial ideas regarding the game you plan on developing.

Attack on Titan + Shadow of the Colossus + Survival Stealth Mechanics
You wake up in a pile of rubble, feeling a faint, rhythmic shaking. You look up and see a giant walking away in the distance, leaving total destruction behind. The goal of the game is to make it across the city to the town gate without being detected by the giant roaming around. You need health packets for when you get hit with debris, and the louder you are the more likely a giant is to come by. The more people/noises that are around also means higher odds of a giant coming. If you get within line of sight of a giant you have to immediately hide or be crushed.  As the giant roams more rubble forms, giving more cover, but also destroying any items which may have been in that house.
Visually this game should be as atmospheric as possible, making the viewer feel tiny compared to the scale of the giant. Clouds, dust, rubble, and destruction would need to be animated in great detail. Music would be mostly non-existent, using sound effects to evoke desolation.

8) State on your blog the contributions you, the individual, made towards the team game in the last week.
