I had always been interested in trying a producer role and this gave me the chance to finally give it a go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\">My initial trial was as a producer on a 2 week <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Amnesia_Fortnight_2014\">Amnesia Fortnight<\/a> prototype called <i>Dear Leader<\/i>, and it was certainly a trial by fire. I focused on helping the leads organize the constant brainstorm of ideas and fill in holes where I could spot them. This included searching for art reference material and taking on repetitive scripting work in Lua that didn\u2019t require a programmer. It was over in a flash and it became one of the most memorable experiences of my career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\">Once officially promoted to associate producer, I worked on <i>Grim Fandango Remastered<\/i> and <i>Broken Age<\/i>. <i>Grim<\/i> was a unique project in that it required remastering a game from 1998 for modern platforms. My part was to help organize the certification and submissions to first-party platforms, as well as to design, edit, and transcribe the over 2 hours of developer commentary in the game. Broken Age was in development at the same time, and my role on that project was that of a development producer. I worked with every team member and helped track tasks, assets, and schedules, in addition to the same certification and submissions that needed to be coordinated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\">All in all, I am proud of the work I did during my time in production. While I discovered that development producer was not a role that suited me, I did learn that release management suits me to a T, and I\u2019m happy to still contribute in that regard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Associate Producer &#8211; Double Fine &#8211; 2014-2015 Trying on a different hat.
