What Went Right
-
We started early--we started meeting very early in the project
-
We playtest extensively during early stages
-
Setting goals--challenged ourselves from concept to completion
-
Team members weren't afraid of interdisciplinary work—even if we weren’t trained in it
-
We were well-organized
What Went Wrong
-
Come together cohesive vision sooner
-
Trusting without verifying—especially early in the project
-
Design: should have pushed for more ways to get verticality and more pickups—would have improved level design
-
We didn’t make an art pipeline or maintain standards in the beginning of the project
-
Some tasks overran their bounds, and team members got tunnel vision
What We Learned
-
Improved time estimates across the team over project
-
Respect of the pipelines is crucial
-
Iteration is not only good, it’s necessary—get it working, then get it pretty
-
Pre Defined System/ Modular kits make creating levels a lot easier
-
Every team member should touch every part of the project
-
Experimentation is valuable—especially at the beginning
