Re: How do you make design decisions as a "team"?

What our team does is when we first get the game we look at it and make sure we fully understand it. You have to make sure you know all the rules, what you can and can't do. Then after we do that our team starts to think of strategies of the game. Offense vs Defense , the different ways to score, and Speed vs Power. You have to focus on WHAT you want to do not HOW you are going to do it. The main thing is let your strategy dictate your design not the other way around. Also you might want to focus on one or two things so you can be really good at a few things then being average at many. Our team has our head mentor call on people to tell the group their ideas so everyone gets a say. After we have a big list of them we put the strategies in most important to lest and we start to narrow them down. From there it's up to your team to talk about how your will design will fulfill your strategy. Team 2337 wishes you good luck as a team.
