Client's request
The client requested the development of a unique game combining elements of role-playing, action and strategy with an immersive medieval world. The client wanted players to be able to capture castles, defend their territory, manage their army in real time and make strategic decisions.

Players can make strategic decisions and participate in battles personally, choose classes, weapons, tactics and battle strategy.

Jira - for general task control, we use Jira. Here are all the tasks in order, as well as links to the technical tasks attached to each card.
Notion - in this space, the game design team generates a global GDD that describes all parts of the project in as much detail as possible.
Figma/Google Drive - these two services fulfill one task - control and storage of all visual materials of the project.
Daily calls/meetings with specific team members - every day the project manager has a meeting or call with one of the groups of specialists (UI/UX, Developers, etc.).
Weekly meetings with the whole team - every week there is a big meeting where the whole team discusses global tasks, work done, and clarifies the plan for the next week.
