Per Aspera – Ground Control

I coordinated tasks, playtests and cross-disciplinary communication through delivery. I built an availability sheet by discipline to plan around the time people actually had, and revised priorities and scope to address a programming bottleneck.

I also contributed to game design. In my retrospective, I valued the time we spent on conception before moving into production: it gave us shared reference points for late decisions.

The runner and control room had to work separately, then together. Their production cost also included balancing and organising four-player tests. We kept both sides through delivery.

In my postmortem, I describe a complete playable experience, but also acknowledge that scope cuts had almost erased our strongest emotional intentions. I identified weaknesses in my scheduling too. My priorities for future projects are to make remaining time more visible and decide earlier which intentions scope cuts must protect.
