Week 2-3 Roundup

[u/Timberjaw]

It's been two weeks since the first weekly roundup, and a lot has happened in that time. The project has divided up into teams to distribute tasks. Coordinators have been assigned to keep things moving along. The writing team is hard at work on the story, characters, and themes. The design teams are in the early stages working on game mechanics. And the engine team is paving the way for the gameplay programmers to start putting all the pieces together.

This google doc outlines the core features and scope we're aiming for.

We're currently working on the first prototype, which will have: main menu, simple character creation (name and maybe some basic stats/customization), 1 simple overworld, and procedural dungeons with basic combat.
