Project Summary

 

My role with Nightwatch has primarily been one of behind-the-scenes establishment and stabilization. I created our presence both on social media platforms and a formal website, creating a visible and recognizable brand for our team to work under.

I also collaborated closely with the team in development, working to create and publish our first game  I have been the overseer of our emergence onto Steam.

Goals
Gaining a perspective on the role of a producer within an interdisciplinary team, as well as learning how to establish and scale a brand. Joining forces with good friends helped me in achieving this.

* Establish a solid foundation to collectively grow our knowledge and gain experience
* Collaborate on and publish a game to a larger marketplace while coordinating a larger team
* Approach new experiences with an eager and willing attitude
* Gain confidence in my skills as a producer alongside others

Challenges
The unexpected always arises. Whether it’s tech issues, legal hurdles, delays, or something else entirely, it helped me to prepare for what could occur on a larger scale project.

* Working against an external deadline to release our game prior to Steam Remote Play Fest
* Testing for and resolving all bugs and technical glitches for release
* Ensuring team members stayed consistent in communication and vision  
* Creating a professional and functional website from which to base our online presence
* Verifying legal boundaries are obeyed, such as studio and game names, assets, tech, etc.

Outcomes
I was able to successfully resolve our issues and achieve each of the previously mentioned goals through effective management of time, resources, and our team’s efforts. We accomplished our release for Remote Play Fest on Steam with a production-ready game for players to engage with. I created and tested our studio’s website, responding to all outreach from players while ensuring  legal, above-board operation when getting started.

Above all, I reached my goals alongside amazing friends, growing my knowledge of production and development by collaborating on and launching Nightwatch. I approached the experience with enthusiasm and passion, happily taking on any challenge. I gained confidence in my ability to lead a team to success, especially when working towards a common creative end.
