Responsibilities

​As the art director, I:

  • Coordinated art production pipeline for a team of 30 people across 8 timezones.

  • Managed task distribution with kanban boards on Miro

  • Communicated with other disciplines regularly to provide updates on progress and necessary clarifications.

What I learned?

  • effective communication within a large team

  • art production and direction

What went wrong?

  • lack of learning curve became a problem for new players (cons of having boss arena as the entire game)

  • the current game jam version felt more like a vertical slice instead of a complete small game experience
