PostMORTEM
Leading an Art Team is difficult:
Making HardDriverz was an awesome experience and I learned so much. Producing the HardDriverz art team taught me to importance of cross communication and supporting your team to be successful.
Communication at Scale:
This was my first game development experience as a dedicated art producer. Going into the project I assumed that I would have to focus on communicating with my art team. I underestimated the importance of communicating the needs of the art team to the other teams and the leads.
