I am currently working in the brainstorming stages for the new layout of our room and designing new assets for the room. We mainly are thinking of a way to make the room look better than before.

The modeling is coming along and working well, but the planing of the new layout is taking some time to do. We really want to make this room look awesome, so the planning really needs to be thought out.

Blog post week 5

-What stages of the project am I on and how is it progressing? How or what could I improve?Me and my group turned in our project 1, and to be honest I am not to happy. I thought that this room looked really good, but the layout was not good. We are looking to continue the project and make it better some how. The project is being redesign as we speak. There is much to improve over the next five weeks.

-Did I change my milestone goals? If so, why?
The milestone is being recontructed right now, I am sure once we figure out our new plan for the treasure room, the milestones will be the same.

-How did I deal with the problems that came up?
For the longest I thought there was no problem. The room did however had some problems with the coins being layout.

-What is working and what is not working in the planning and implementation of the project?
Everything has worked, but nothing seems to be good enough. Our level is working good, but the layout design needs work for the final.

-Briefly describe your time spent and any problems (within the team, with a computer, etc).I spent my time modeling the assets for the room and designing the room. I worked on the layout of the room and I was upset with myself on how the result came out. I feel bad about it.

- Evaluate the project as a whole including team members.
Jhericka and Mike are a great team. I enjoy working with them.

My group as a really great idea going for the project. Our project is the treasure Room and we plan on making it in 3d max, with most of the assets. We made our asset list and broke it down to who is doing what. I have started modeling some of the assets to put into the treasure room. I then did some research and found some interesting pictures that can help us, mostly from W.O.W., and with this information I am sure we can make a good treasure room.
