Project Description
The concept of the game was about meeting our clients needs, the DSH, in creating a fast casual game for their touch table that would attract people to play it and showcase some facts about the company to get them interested to join. Worked within an international team of 6.
I was the Scrum Master.
Working with an international team and managing it was a very challenging experience, as the language barrier made communication more difficult. My priority as the lead programmer was facilitating and helping my team members in also managing to create and iterate on their parts of the project.
