Yesterday evening Håkan, Jona and Nixi were away and tried the mo-cap (motion capture) equipment that we have at our disposal. Here are some screen shots from the warm up videos. I wasn’t allowed to post any video, because Nixi had very strong fear about becoming the new “You Tube wacko” on the Internet. As Nixi puts it in one of the 100 videos we recorded yesterday -”this is definably Star Wars kid material”
The photos are screen shots from the videos we shot. That’s why the quality isn’t the best

When I saw the video of Nixi I thought that he had the mo-cap clothing on. So I said -”nice spandex you got on”. Nixi commented:
-”Those are my regular clothes, you bastard. Not as tight as the motion capture suit and not spandex but sure, they are tighter than your tailored grey suit.”
Nice to feel some love :p Also I don’t have a grey tailored suit, only a black one and I only use it for weddings and funerals.

* HERE’s some more stuff about the mo-cap room + video.

As always on Thursdays we had our big weekly meeting today. Today it was the first time we discussed all the things that had been written down on the “wish list”. There were around 15 ideas and I think it was only 3 suggestions that were put away directly, 4 were considered to be implemented and the rest was considered “ok” (Ok = will be implemented if we have time).

We discussed the progress of sprint 2 and the beginning of sprint 3 (starts next week). We also discussed that we might divide the “major sprints” into smaller “weekly sprints”, this so that it becomes more of weekly goals instead on “monthly goals”. The risk of having a “monthly goal” is that you might focus and work 3 weeks with one thing and when the last week of the sprint comes you suddenly realize that you haven’t done all the other stuff you were supposed to do during the whole sprint.

We talked about motion capture (which we should try tonight : ) and what type of script function we would like to have in the game.

There were also some other smaller stuff that we discussed today.
