Hey everyone, just wanted to give a quick Saturday update as to what is happening with our team on our projects so far.
Our second full fledged day of training camp went real well yesterday. You really wouldn't think that three college kids sitting around in an apartment have any chance of being productive, but our team works real well together thus far.
When it comes to what ideas we plan on using in making an actual application, we've still at the point where we tell people "we're still not sure." That's not really a lie either haha.
The truth is, we've really got about 20-30 ideas which we think would make great applications. Our biggest obstacle right now is, we're not quite sure as to what we're actually capable of. However, through this training camp, we've been learning all about what we can and cannot do as a team. I'm hopeful that we'll be able to maybe make an announcement and talk about our first project next week. I'll see if maybe I can sneak a mock up shot away from Jeff or Mike.
As the business/marketing guy, I'm also working real hard on promotion of the site. As a big promotional method, it looks as if we're going to be throwing a video game marathon, pretty much exactly like I used to do with Four48. Essentially, it will be the same exact event with the focus on helping build awareness for our project. More info should hopefully come next week as well, but plan on early to mid June as a date. I don't want to 100% confirm the game series yet, but it would be safe to say that the forerunner right now starts with a Met and ends with a Roid.
As for what a day in the Saturday office looks like, here's my current computer hardware set up.
The large monitor is connected to a Dell desktop and is used primarily for my work on the website and web browsing. The Macbook is used for Twitter and e-mail. The small packet of Marigold seeds to the right? My mom loves gardening.
More posts coming tomorrow and next week. We've got a full schedule ahead of us starting tomorrow and for more on when you can expect content, check out our team calendar.
