$538 remains in the Byte-le account after this year’s competition
The game went really well with 16 teams!
Rewards for the top three teams (four in total with a tie in third place) have already been given out as Amazon gift cards
Byte-le Team
Idea proposed of separating the board from Byte-le development directly and having the Vice Chair take charge of creating the team for developing Byte-le
The Byte-le team must be approved by the Board prior to beginning development on Byte-le
This change is being proposed so that development for Byte-le can be started prior to elections for the ACM Board, and so board members are not “forced” to work on development on the game
After the inital team is created, the Byte-le team decides who joins the team afterward
As for roles in Byte-le development, it is recommended to have the following roles:
Developers (Five Minimum)
Two developers should have little to no experience
Two developers should have previous experience
One developer should be the Scrum Master
This role is elected by the Board and should have been on a previous Byte-le development team with experience
Artists (Two Recommended)
Artists can be developers
Testers
QA Testers (1-2 Recommended)
1-2 try to play the game
Should include at least a developer and one not currently developing Byte-le
Playtesters (Four maximum)
Should play the game like the competition as the game reaches a state of completion
Cannot have seen Byte-le and cannot compete in Byte-le after playtesting
Can include an alumni (One Maximum)
ACM Merch
Sent out a google form for ACM merch interest
Currently have three responses
Added stickers to the form
February Game Night
This month’s game night will be held on February 23rd, starting at 6:30pm in the ACM room
Prior, there will be a member meeting for the ACM merch google form
SIGs Starting
Most of the SIGs have found times and have started
The following SIGs have yet to start this semester
SIG-Collab
SIG-Functional
SIG-Modding
SIG-Collab: Byte-le Revamp 2.0
The next Byte-le game should be developed on the next version of the Byte-le engine
With this, the revamp collab should be developed soon so the developers for Byte-le can work with it as soon as possible
Board TO DO:
Look into one professor talk spotlight per year
Work on ACM merch
Look into registering ACM as a non-profit organization
Can look at becoming an educational organization along with this
