Savanna Scrum

Torque X, Torque 3D, Torque X  Torque X is not ready for production  Torque 3D is missing important features  Commit to core tech by the ¼ (12Hrs.) mark

High Ambition  Designing features before the core design was ready  Resisted change to the original design  Once you pass the ½ mark (24Hrs.) must compromise / redesign

Network Multiplayer  Tricky to design Server – Client, P2P, Authoritative  Hard to test  Painful to debug

After GGJ  Created a rough prototype of the original core design Unity Engine (2.6) ~35 Hrs. Code, Level Design, Sound Effects, UI

Demo Time!

Conclusions  Diversity is your best asset  Have a timeline in place before working 12hr Tools lockdown; 24hr design lockdown; etc.  Met some great people Ready for next year!
