Overview: | There's nothing wrong with being small! Learn how to maximize the productivity of your studio without sacrificing the flexibility and creativity that makes a small team so effective. This session will explain how we created Seabeard - a large-scale, innovative, online trading adventure for mobile, with a core team of only four, and will go into detail about lessons learned along the way. This session will cover a number of principles and processes that we've put in place to reduce wastage and maximize productivity - from team structure and the use of middleware to prototyping and inter-team communication. Whether you're a one-man band or part of a larger studio - this session will deliver practical advice on how to make the most of what you've got. |
