Think out of the box

Producing a game is a team effort and involves different departments with different perspectives. Each team member needs to contribute with that mindset, for example programmers need to be able to understand the way of thinking of designers, designers need to take into consideration artists’ thoughts and everyone needs to be aware that a QA’s brain works differently.

Partial Home office
