Production Details

At the end of 2018, my teacher approached a handful of students and new graduates, including myself with an idea to start a game studio together. The main goal being to have a released game for our portfolios which would help us when applying for work in the industry.
Most of the team either studied or worked as well as being a part of the project, which presented a lot of unique challenges when it came to collaborating together and making sure everyone was consistently on the same page with the projects development.
One of the challenges we met straight away was that each time coming to work on the project, a lot of decisions and changes had been made during the time you were absent, often creating confusion for the team. We quickly needed to figure out systems to implement that would help with this team set up, and we learned a lot about the importance of maintaining good documentation throughout the whole project.
