Last week we had a Caromble! Weekend! This meant we could work together for two days in real life without interruptions.
Day 1 started of with P***** being late and him having his breakfast during our morning stand-up. Just like the old times! Following the release of Chapter 4 we continued our work on our next milestone... Chapter 5! As friends we also paid some attention to the social aspects. As we all know, food and drinks equals fun times. So we had pizza for lunch, Vietnamese spare ribs for dinner and some beers at the end of the day.
Our improvised office for day 1
Day 2 was at our most familiar environment. The attic of Thomas D. It was a cold and rainy day. This provided a perfect background for concentration, hot coffee and hard work.
This weekend gave us a jump start towards our next milestone. We try to continue our work as energetic as this weekend felt!
Happy gaming!
