Group Meeting 2:



Discussing game mechanics, aesthetics, individual roles.
Game Mechanics: 

- Player Lives:
deciding on whether or not to have player lives. As some levels may be very difficult to complete and require many tries before succeeding. But still have not decided on whether if you die ‘x’ amount of times you will have to restart the zone, rather than the whole game. Or rather you have an unlimited amount of lives and you just restart the level when you die.
-Point system:
seems irrelevant for a game like this and will most likely not be included. instead of this we will just use a count for how many resources the seed has collected.
- End level
Still a tricky thing to decide, overall the character will be a full size tree at the end of each zone, rather than the end of the game, so it seems as if the seed has reached its maximum potential and has successfully saved that particular zone. But whether or not to choose if the seed plants itself and progressively becomes a larger tree at the completion of each level, or just to continue each level until it will plant itself at the end of the zone.
Current Individual roles :
