Hello! This week I will be talking about using Trello and Unity together to manage tasks in a game project as well as update you on the development on Plunderer's Run: Blue Moon Curse!

Plunderer's Run - Development Update
Over the last couple of weeks, the game has undergone a number of revisions to the code base to help clean up the code and organize the project as a whole. As a result, development on new content has been SLOW, but fear not, the project is still moving at a good pace. Over the last couple of weeks, I have completely re-written the UI system so that information is presented in a more clean and quick way to the player. Testing on this new system has begun today with our in-house testers. We will be rolling this out to our outside testers in the next couple of weeks so please take the time to go here and fill out the form to become a tester! Next week we will begin posting some new portraits for characters in the game!

Using Trello to Organize Tasks

If you haven't already heard, I absolutely love using Trello to keep myself organized and on task. For a large project like Plunderer's Run, it is extremely important for me to stay organized and on point with the development and progress of the game. For this, I use Trello to track what needs to be done and categorize tasks based on their importance. Each day I am able to log on to Trello and start working on tasks based on their importance, and at the end of the day, it's really nice to see the "Completed Tasks" list grow as I edge closer to completing the game!

Using Trello and Unity Together For Bug Reporting

After discovering that you can write tasks to Trello boards from outside sources, I immediately began working on a bug reporter tool in Unity that collects data from the tester's PC, and allows them to enter a title and description of the bug they encountered. When the tester submits the report, while playing the game, the report is sent to my "Bug Reports" Trello board where I can see what bugs are in the game and work on them accordingly. By using this process, my testers can easily enter bug reports on the game and I can easily see what bugs are in the game, and how many tasks I have for the day!

Well that about does it for this week's blog post. Hope you enjoyed it and have yourself a wonderful day!
