Zomb-Merge - Sprint 6 My name is Kyle Ramser, and I am a Chico State student majoring in Computer Animation and Game Development. I am currently taking a mobile development class, and am working on a game with the working title Zomb-Merge. Our team just finished up our 6th sprint, which is the last full-length sprint that we have in our process. This was by far our best sprint, and we were able to get the game essentially ready to ship, with only a few things that still need to be added and tweaked. We definitely set ourselves up for success in our final sprint during this one and I couldn’t be more excited to finish the game off.

During the process, we had a huge miscommunication that ended up about as poorly as it could have: a merge error. Because of this, I lost a huge chunk of my work and had to spend a good amount of time reimplementing work that I had already completed. Luckily, a good chunk of the time that I used was researching how to do the work rather th...
