First Meeting

Had the first meeting at Borders in Puyallup. After reviewing several design decisions, we decided to go ahead with basic development of a simple level to both recruit and to get a better feel for the UDK. I'm making the the level while Russell creates two basic classes to demonstrate the RPG capabilities of the UT3 engine.

After doing some administrative work, I posted recruitment ads on the UDK forums, ConceptArt.org forums, and craigslist. I was amazed at how many people responded to the ad so quickly. I am currently looking through and reviewing them all. We set a time frame of 2 weeks for the demo level, so I will need to have the level built by Sunday, while also completing Cisco coursework and my normal day (night, actually) job.

I will endeavor to have answers to those who applied by Friday. The initial plan was for a team of roughly 15, but if we are all local, we may be able to extend that number. I also decided on the The Armory for a company name. This early on, we could change it if necessary. It would only be a few lines of text, but at least it protects our intellectual property rights.
