Red Team

Ok well as a team we don't have a blog to share our research/work but we have been meeting up in the game itself (SecondLife) and sharng our modelling and thoughts in there. We have checked out various islands and are now in the process of modelling our own buildings/area based around Digital Harbour. If any of you guys are part of SecondLife feel free to check out our modelling, just let me know your nicknames :)

Green Team's Blog Address

Just to let you know, we have posted a blog for this group on http://mmda07greenteam.blogspot.com/ as well as our own blogs for documentation.
No doubt the green team is obviously very behind,
but we've made good progress this week. The Superblue blog has definitely shown good organisation. Here's Another resource for game design as the other groups are using other applications it won't be as relevant however it doesn't hurt to look.
