Pivoting to Casino Life Poker made this a better company to work for
|
|
Small team development, remote work allowed, AGILE process works, Unity game engine, Amazon Web Services stack, no crunching. Vision was a real problem with WoK, which was in perpetual start-up mode on an aging code base. Focusing on Poker has really helped change the team from a proprietary social game platform team to a Unity game development studio.
|
Some of the grander ideas are yet to come to fruition, hampered by a tendency to allow the team to shrink rather than back fill positions. The management is risk averse and tends to favor a more fast-following derivative approach to design. There is a fear of hiring artists and a lack of understanding on how important art is to make a game successful. Decisions seem to be based on more on budgetary concerns rather than what will make the game successful. Marketing spend is very minimal. The idea that utility token can somehow fund the viral marketing effort is yet to bear fruit. Raises are rare, even for cost of living, though the pay is competitive.

Hire experienced people and listen to them. You can't just one day decide you're a game developer and make all the best decisions. That arrogance will cost you a lot.

Implement strong processes to ensure success, Scrum and Agile are a must. With these factors in place, there should be no reason for mounting stresses, moving targets, and at 'will' redirection.
