Groups Decided

This week the groups were decided and set in stone.  Cellblock, Fus Fus and Vinyl are still around as expected, but there's also a 4th group now that's combining a bunch of people's ideas into a game.  Vinyl has 5 of us working on it, myself, Jason, Sherly, Mike, and Brianne.

Tuesday we planned out a rough idea of how we want the next three weeks to go and came up with a basic plan of what we want to do engineering wise.  We're going to be talking with Zodiac since they have a rail system as well, which is what we're after.

Since then, and especially on Thursday, I spent a lot of time playing various other music games to see how they did things.  I got a bit of inspiration and ideas, but most of them just have music playing and the game doesn't really use it.  There's an iPhone game, Synesthetic, that's the closest thing to what we're going for.  We also listened to a bunch of various types of music as a group to try and decide what genre we're going to use for the prototype.  Roger recommended that we not use a copyrighted song, even for the prototype, which we're going to go with.
