For a number of weeks, I’ve been thinking about the idea of a “Brainstorming Day”, to get together a bunch of my friends who have helped me think about my Christian computer game, to work through some of the outstanding puzzles and come up with some ideas. Today was that day, and I’m very grateful to God for the generosity of three guys from my church who gave up their Saturdays to humour me and help me out. Praise the Lord, I think it was a tremendously helpful time, and we came up with some really great ideas. I now need to spend the next couple of weeks collating those ideas and filling in the missing pieces, but it now seems quite achievable to get all of the puzzles worked out by the end of the month.
We didn’t stick to it at all due to various unforeseen circumstances, but here was the timetable for the day:
| 10:00 | Arrive and drink tea |
| 10:15 | Overview of the game so far |
| 10:35 | Cook and eat breakfast, and read the passage |
| 11:25 | Brainstorm 1 Subject: The end – getting a message to Samuel |
| 12:10 | Rest/Stroll around Limehouse |
| 13:00 | Brainstorm 2 Subject: Jabesh-Gilead (Act 3) |
| 13:45 | Lunch: Covent Garden soup and French bread |
| 15:00 | Brainstorm 3 Subject: Mizpah (Act 2) |
| 16:00 | Board game: Settlers of Catan |
| 18:00 | Brainstorm 4 Subject: Donkey Hunting (Act 1) |
| 18:45 | Home or pizza and a film “The Lives of Others” |
