Post Mortem

In retrospect, this was a really good experience for me and a lot of the team. Coming out of the classroom environment and actually tackling a full game head on was way different that I had expected, and we learned a lot about how things are done. The team had to deal with proper task delegation, keeping each other up to date, managing (and cutting) scope, and all the things necessary for a project to go smoothly. We made a lot of good progress and learned even more, and made a pretty good game in the process.
