Production Manager and Game Designer
Production Summary
As the production manager, game designer and co-owner of Miyagawachō, I had to play many different roles during the production process of this project. While my primary roles were Production and Game Design, I also stepped in to fill roles of animation, scripting, 3d art and building. All of this was in an attempt to make the lives of our developers, easier
This list would be very long if I were to list every single contribution I made to the game, so I will summarize my personal contributions to the bare-bones:tanabata_tree:
Primary game designer, working on both gameplay and communal elements of the game design. Focusing on level, world and gameplay design
Drafted and conceptualized in-depth GDDs for the game, including monetization and KPI metric reaching procedures
Organization and upkeep of development tools such as Jira, Miro, and Github repo
Assembly of multiple development parts such as making sure pieces were properly welded, uploading and organizing 100s of decal assets into ReplicatedStorage, buildings and structures in the primary game map,
Managing of multidisciplinary developers across multiple fields, utilizing and specializing in organization tools like Trello and Jira during production timeline
In-depth organizational spreadsheets, including a running document of every animation, SFX and VFX as well as their studio IDs
Uploading, weight-painting, and finalizing all LC and UGC in the group. Had to solo learn the intricacies of Roblox caging and skinned-meshes for the morph system
3d modeling and texturing in Substance Painter
Revisionary and quality assurance testing, being responsive to developers and ensuring their needs are met. Ensuring all blockers were dealt with swiftly and promptly to continue development timeline
Primary developer for communal systems, such as community structure and functionality
The above list is a running tally of contributions, and will be finalized when the game releases. I am using this forum as a place to track contributions during development
