Captains Log, Star date... who knows?

Today was our PoC Milestone acceptance due date. Our IPs had already talked to the EPs about what we planned on having in prior to todays turn in, yet somehow we got thrown for a loop when they told us that they wanted some features in the PoC that weren't planned for and then ones that we were specifically told that we needed to have in were now cut for the PoC milestone.

I'm not sure if its a communication error between people, or the fact that some people didn't take the time to read what was actually submitted and then have questions about why something isn't going to be in for PoC when it says it will be there in the document.

Over the course of 4 hours we obtained 3 sets of feedback, the first told us that the dynamic wind feature was going to be cut, that they wanted this that and the other thing put in, and all the placeholder art assets that the AD was pushing us so hard to get as much of into our PoC as possible was not really that "big" of a deal for the turn in all of a sudden.

I'm honestly not sure what the EP's vision of the game IS for PoC, but I just hope we don't end up turning something in that they tear to shreds like they did our acceptance turn in today.

I don't know if the breakdown in communication is supposed to emulate industry, or if the meetings between the EPs and our group are just not seeing the same vision for the game.
