Comment #3 – David Åström, Team A

Hi David! Great post, you dive right into the positive things that scum has provided for you and your group. The post answers the what, how and why with straight to the point information. You explain very well that you guys had problem with scrum and that it has to do with the execution of the group and the lack of experience that you guys have with Scrum. I really like how your group manage to resolve this problem by […]

Hi!
First of all, I must say that it was a good reading and I can really see that you done your homework when it comes to SCRUM. I think that you made a great design decision and that it is nice to see that you been really concerned about all the risk that comes within game development. As you have said it is hard to predict all of potential issues, but I think you have shown a good understanding of […]

Comment blog 3 – Teodor

Hi Teodor!
Thank you for an interesting post.
As a game designer to be, I especially enjoyed reading your reasoning about user stories and how you have changed your way of thinking about them. You write in a way that makes it easy to follow both what you are writing about and why.
In your post, you describe that you, in the beginning, could not really see the point of using user stories for the sprint planning since you had the concept document […]

Hi Maximilian!
Thanks for letting me read an interesting post.
It feels very clear to me as a reader, that this post is about the design of the boss in your game, the bear that is attacking the beehive. You describe how it was designed from the start, and that the solutions you decided on from the beginning did not work out when the team started to build this bear for the game.
After that, you describe changes that you and the team […]

”Hey Kentaro!
Fredrik Here,
Very Impressive work. The game looks absolutely astonishing. It looks something that I’d expect from a released title, not from the first game project from school. Very well explained as well, especially how you allow the reader to follow your process as you went through the different iterations and encountered different problems. I also enjoyed the very nice usage of GIFs so the game could be appreciated in its full glory. The thing that matters most […]

“Hello Magdalena! I am pleased that Scrum seems to be working out well for you and the rest of team Devourer!
Your blog post provides a good introduction to what Scrum is, and I can imagine that a reader with limited understanding or experience of Scrum would be able to read this post without feeling too lost in the subject matter.
Whilst your post is sufficient in explaining some reasoning behind the decision to not use User Stories, I […]

“Hello Siri,
I liked reading your post on sound design and can relate to it as I am also currently working on producing sound assets to our game. Your blog post is very informative and provides an easy to understand overview of how you produced this sound effect. I especially enjoyed reading the section on how you used Audacity and multiple sound layers to create a final sound asset. The goal (fitting the sound with the monster’s design) […]

“First off, I enjoy your blog post not being about a subject that I expected from a year 1 Game Design & Project Management student. The undervalued issue of creating a positive workspace is interesting to read about. Especially in our environment where the Project Manager is required to find creative solutions to this as available funds and spaces are limited to say the least.
You have clearly communicated the actions taken to create a work environment within you limitations […]

My comment:
Hi, Linda
You have explained how Scrum works and how you guys are working with it (sprint reviews and planning meetings) in a short, but quite effective way, although I would’ve liked to hear more about what you guys are exactly doing during those meetings. Not all teams do the retrospective during sprint reviews for example. My team’s dear scrum master (second year manager) has taught me all about it, and it helps […]

“Hi, Lina!
It is awesome that you have shared your true thoughts and feelings regarding the presentation. I personally could relate to every word, from the fear of failing to loving make PowerPoints that convey meaning through pictures and visual effects.
You have described your inner fight very clear and I’m glad that you weren’t presenting alone! It is really not easy to present something in front of such a big crowd (or at least I think 50 […]
