Guest Lecture #1 - 21/09/2022 - Secret Mode

Guest - Joshua Garrity, Head Game Scout at Secret Mode Guest Bio Joshua started as a product Manager in the marketing department. Joshua was in charge of digital publishing for Fireshine. Attending public events like Gamescom not only allowed him to network his way into the position as Head Scout at Secret Mode but is also a method he uses to accomplish his job by seeing new indie projects in beta stages at these events.

Takeaway #1 - Working with limitations Both Peter and his co-worker had to stick to a schedule where sections of the map needed to be done to a specific deadline, the white box version needed to be done within a certain time limit, changes could not be made once the art pass had started, the map needed to include certain features like ditches and a spot for a supply train to run through. The map itself went under many changes before ...
