Postmortem
​What Went Wrong
​
-
It took longer than expected to have all team members on the same page with the same vision of the project.
-
Some poor task prioritization when using scrum methodology, especially early in development.
-
Lack of debugging procedures and tools made the process of resolving issues in script take exponentially longer.
What Was Learned
​
-
Understand your team's experience when determining scope of tasks and how long they could take.
-
Be decisive when you have multiple ideas for a mechanic or design.
- Build often, playtest your builds early and often.​
​What Went Well
​
-
The team did an excellent job communicating decisions, updating and supporting each-other, and keeping professional.​
-
From conception to launch, the game deviated very little from the design pillars initially outlined.​
