Hi, 

This is the 3rd update on my gamification project for school. To recap, I conducted research, came up with a game idea to my team, and decided on the direction we wanted to head in and the pitch that we felt was appropriate. We are eager to design and create Puddle Jumpers Gazette! We have been fleshing out characters, environments, maps, and programmatic requirements. Our documentation is basically complete at this point. All that's left for us to do is experiment with different prototypes to find the right feeling for the newspaper drag-and-drop mechanic. 

The team's progress has been relatively steady. The biggest challenge we have faced so far is coming up with ideas to tweak the original pitch. Fortunately, we have since then come up with a solution that the team seems to be satisfied with. I am very excited about the project and the end result of all the things we've been talking about.
