Riley Hart's Senior Project

We’ve found that it takes a lot more time than we anticipated, so hopefully our website will be live by the beginning of next week. This week we were looking specifically at designing our website and figuring out how we want it formatted. We also figured out all of the content for our website, at least the initial launch of it, meaning we’ve written out descriptions of our project, who we are, and started writing a couple game reviews.           Most of our time this week was spent working on our website and making our very basic template from last week into a workable website rather than playing games, however we did play a couple games.
