Client's request
The customer came with a request to create a Web3 game that consists of space battles.
Result
We developed "Space Sweepers," a game that incorporates elements of Web3 and is a space shooter where players can fight waves of enemy ships and maneuver among asteroids.
To effectively control development, we use the following tools:
Weekly reports for the customer - every week project manager generates a global report with the done work. It consists of described tasks, attached videos and screenshots, and a playable build with integrated innovations at the end.
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.
