🧑‍💻My Role

I collaborated closely with DestinyBit’s game director on the creative direction of the game, providing critique and in-depth analysis on all aspects of the game, design (gameplay, economy, ux, etc) or otherwise (visuals, music, narrative etc).
We established the production plan (with expected features and content for each major milestone) according to our targets (platforms, timeline, quality, budget), and helped the development team prioritize their efforts accordingly.
I provided support to the business and marketing teams planning various release scenarios (from Early Access to sim-ship Premium release on several platforms), informed by an extensive benchmark of competitors and industry best practices.

📝 Key Takeaways

Creating a truly developer-friendly, sustainable publishing strategy requires a strong commitment across the entire organisation. Building a trustworthy relationship and empowering game teams to deliver the best possible game, is hard, but very fulfilling work.
Curating a great, coherent lineup of games requires more than data. Sometimes, you got to trust your gut. Rolling the dice on a small team with a short slide deck, a basic prototype but a strong vision can yield wonders.
