We have been working on a basic storyline and we decided we all like the Moana idea but as Moana is mostly in the sea for the whole film, we decided it would be best if the gameplay was on land as a fight on water may be difficult to implement, so we are very lightly following the storyline of Moana but changing it to suit our story.

We spoke about the fruit not growing in the village and maybe it would be cool if there were more disastrous things happening like invaders or exploding volcanos. With the main character, I was really rooting for it being a female lead as in the previous teams I have worked in, the guys sort of took over and it was automatically decided that the main character would be male. I feel like this happens a lot, the idea of a woman lead is not a popular thing in games so this time I put my foot down and the team agreed with me and ... we have a female lead!

In our discussion, we were just bouncing ideas off each other and seeing what we liked most, we wrote all of this down on a document and stuck it on Trello so we could all access it and add on to it if we had anymore ideas.
