Finalize Padlet

devinbrantley — 2024-02-21 16:28:40 UTC

Finish setting up Padlet, start to gather ideas, don't change the structure of the padlet after this point. Be nearly fully decided on a gamemode and project by this point

Timeline and Pitch

devinbrantley — 2024-02-21 16:29:29 UTC

Finish Timeline and pitch if possible, have most stuff ready and in a slideshow if able.

Project Pitch

devinbrantley — 2024-02-21 16:30:27 UTC

Pitch project to class, edit if necessary, and finalize ideas. There's no changing after this point. Backlog should be complete mostly with all known features to be required for at minimum alpha release.

Progress Checks

devinbrantley — 2024-02-21 16:31:30 UTC

TBA dates based on project timeline. Will be determined based on what we do for pitch. Soft deadline, but cannot fall behind. Can vary and should be ahead of deadlines, deadlines should be designed for more than MVP (min viable product)

Minimum Viable Product Completion and Alpha Release

devinbrantley — 2024-02-21 16:35:24 UTC

Game must be playable at this point. Tenative requirements to be editted:

full menu
one song
full gameplay with little bugs
scoring
health system for failure (optional)

Beta Release (full game)

devinbrantley — 2024-02-21 16:38:45 UTC

Full game release. Should include at minimum full song library, editor if added, and anything else. Similar to alpha but more content in minimum product. Should be functional and polished so like any animations, etc.

Most important beta difference is possible customizable controls

Main Menu

devinbrantley — 2024-02-21 18:03:05 UTC

Scene or similar just with the menu screen, possible gameplay video in the background, and a click to play which either starts into the song menu or offers a play, edit (optional), settings (optional), and/or quit game button (optional).

Deadlines

devinbrantley — 2024-02-21 18:05:13 UTC

Red represents hard deadline, yellow represents more flexible deadline

Tasks/features

devinbrantley — 2024-02-21 18:05:59 UTC

Black represents normal non-required features, green represents stretch features, red represents core features, and yellow represents required but not core features.

Song selection screen

devinbrantley — 2024-02-21 18:07:07 UTC

Similar to the menu, possibly another scene if easier that way. UML should be made before that determination. Should include a scroll for all songs available, and then when a song is chosen (clicked), shoudl show the available difficulties. Most songs should have multiple difficulties.

Song data system

devinbrantley — 2024-02-21 18:09:12 UTC

Songs in game will be stored as text files, with information at the top about the song and other features and the following lines and similar having information about each note and similar features.
