New Team and Studio Formation:
- Class forms into 6 cross-disciplinary teams. At least half of the team members should be new to each student (did not work together on Project #1).
- Each team picks (or I assign) their team lead.
- Teams pair up into twos to form a "Studio." Each Studio:
- Shares a Rift or Vive.
- Shares talent across both teams whenever necessary. Both teams within a studio share some credit for each other's games.
- Playtests internally (Team A tests Team B's game, and vice versa).
- Each Studio picks (or I assign) their studio head to lead development. Their head cannot be a team lead
