Challenges

Time Management - project work, elective assignments and sleep

Database Connection with GM- no technical support from GM- almost impossible to find a bypass solution- a solution to playtest the game inside GM is obligatory

Large scale goals- impossible to fulfill the requirement in one semester

34

Solution

Time Management - Get used to the schedule and the workload

Database Connection with GM- Mini VM

Large scale goals- Cut features- Make it scalable and reusable
