peckenpaugh | MUGGLE STUDIES: GROUP PROJECTS!

Group assignments appear on a corkboard just outside the computer lab this morning, and it looks like even some muscheron have been given a project!

GROUP 1: Anthony, Chanel, Gemma, Laszlo, Willow
PROJECT: 3-D Maze / Exploration

GROUP 2: Adrian, Elijah, Fiona, Holland, Valkyrie
PROJECT: Point-and-Click Adventure

GROUP 3: Atlas, Gertrude, Jupiter, Kirby, Viola
PROJECT: Bejewelled-style match puzzler

GROUP 4: Cedar, Cicero, Howdy, Presley, Ramona
PROJECT: 2D Side Scrolling Platformer

GROUP 5: Armani, Claudia, Edgar, Hawthorne, Lionel
PROJECT: Dating Sim / Visual Novel

GROUP 6: Amanita, Penny Bun II, Morel, Chanterelle, Porcini
PROJECT: Text-based RPG

This group project will run until the end of April. Students are expected to produce a brief and functional game by the end of the assignment. Mr. Qualls and Dr. Ranui are both on hand to help out with coding questions, and Lionel Lovelace is encouraged to make himself available as a student advisor.

Some of these game types are quite complex, but let’s assume there’s some magic at work here, and don’t forget groups received zip files of all the additional resources they might need to make their games. Students are permitted to produce and use their own assets, instead, but Mr. Qualls reminds everyone to keep the scope small so your project can be completed. You going to listen to his advice?

Lionel looks over the list and immediately doesn't like the groupings. Then again, he's not sure how he'd rearrange them to be better. "Don't look too excited," he tries to temper people's expectations. "It will be a lot of work."

For him too, he thinks. For him in particular.

I had a big laugh when I rolled these groups.

OH THANK YOU FOR MAKING ARMANI'S GROUP THE DATING SIM DSFKLJ i didn't realize it was assigned. he's going to try to take the lead on this one

Presley and Ramona are going to have to carry Howdy Cicero and Cedar because they're going to be too busy blowing things/each other up

ramona will have to carry this team because presley needs to learn Wizard Unity from scratch in a week

Good thing his dorm room smells like rancid milk right now he'll have plenty of reason to be in the computer lab learning

howdy and cicero, alleged child geniuses:

They're going to fail something they should be good at just because they won't cooperate.

teachers keep pairing them together so they'll learn a lesson in cooperation, but really they're just learning new ways to burden the people around them

when i read this i was struck by delight and then immediately flung into a depression when i realized i'd never get to play this game

if armani gets his way, it's just monster prom but in a forest town because forests are sensual. (i have not actually played monster prom but i ASSUME it's up his alley.)

i can't believe you rewarded my extreme tardiness by putting elijah into a group w holland and val i don't deserve such a gift

It felt R I G H T.

Holland is still blissfully unaware of any awkwardness in this dynamic 😬

I badly wanna play the text based rpg made by group 6

It's all in Appalachian Mushkin

This is perfection.

Low key love the goth jock combo of group 1

Powerful joth coalition

Laszlo and Chanel start slowly transforming the project into a horror game.

Frankly a waste if they don’t

More jumpscares.

"but what if there was a creature chasing you through the maze?"

that's called a motivation, babey

oh yay i love these

Embarrassing but I only just saw Lionel’s name IN a group lol

Claudia's still trying to sneak a version of him into his own project

I’d expect no less

I love this so much.

I have a really bad feeling that Group 3 is gonna straight up create a black hole.
