Decisions made:

Purpose of meeting
Decision made (What)	Reason for decision (Why)
Choses ‘Sparkles’ as Bird character, based on Ghost Rider.	Unique appearance and interesting powers and weaknesses that work well with chosen Terrain.
Chose Loki as Pig character.	Power allows for much variety.
Chose Wharf for Terrain.	Most aesthetically interesting of the various sketches and meshes well with chosen Bird character (Water = weakness, possibility of friendly fire, etc)
Chose Wrecking Ball for Mechanism.	Reliably accurate and (relatively) reliable construction, also allows for use of the squash ball and therefore it hits with greater force.

Team Minutes Week 2

The bird Mr Sparkles designed by kevin was chosen. Mr Sparkles is a ball of fire that can be shot at the Pig to light them or objects around them on fire,He also has the ability to somewhat change his direction mid flight to allow for better navigation to the target. Mr Sparkles main weakness is Water surprisingly enough. 

For the Pig. The design of ‘Loki’ was chosen whose power is that of creating illusory copies of himself randomly on the map to confuse the player. he is generally weak to physical damage but unlike his illusions he Requires a direct hit from the bird to kill him. 

My Design of the port was chosen to be the Enviroment to be Further refined as it contains water, the weakness of the bird. I was also asked to go and redesign some aspect of it to incorporate some mechanics thought up in the Team meeting.

The changes to my drawing were mainly limited to moving the container further out over the water, such that if the player was to hit it the container, It would fall killing hostages inside of it leading to a mission fail  

The wrecking ball was also chosen to be our apparatus as it was deemed to be more reliable stable and accurate over the other designs  

I was also tasked with Drawing a Departure, Gap and Arrival Scene to be used in our presentation.
