Unsung Story - Producer Rebecca Interview

Playdek has posted the next update for their funded kickstarter game Unsung Story: Tale of the Guardians with another interview this time with Assistant Producer Rebecca.

Interview with Assistant Producer Rebecca!

Hello everyone!

Thank you to everyone who went and posted up a question for this Q&A Interview! We have been able to gather the answers from Rebecca, our Assistant Producer, so without further delay, here you are!

Q. Is the game on schedule? 

A. As of right now, we’re looking good. Games a year out can still surprise us, but we’ve learned that even if something comes up, it’s important to let you guys know so that it doesn’t come down to a week before and you get told you’re going to have to wait another 2 months. 

Q. Is the QA team behaving? 

A.They’re always behaving. I’ve got two great guys, Cameron and Jesse, who work to ensure that we send the games out with as little bugs as possible. They play 5 player games against themselves, or become very nit-picky with the look of a glow, just to get things right. We’ve also got an amazing set of Volunteer testers that we get to play games with and share our excitement when we finally get to release a game. 

Q. Rebecca, what lessons have you learned from previous projects you've worked on, and how are you going to apply those lessons to Unsung Story? 

A. Right now the big one is to be as transparent as possible. Although we can’t share everything, it’s important to not leave anyone in the dark. When we were working on our Summoner Wars port to Android, we came across some big bugs that set us back, and it was important to keep everyone at Playdek aware of where we stood with the project. Our advantage with that project is that we hadn’t made it public so we had time on our side to ensure it was right not just on time. Since Unsung Story is very public facing with the Kickstarter, we will have to make sure that you aren’t left without knowledge of any setbacks. It’s almost expected that they will happen, and although some people are going to be upset, we’ve found the majority of people are much happier just being given an update on the status.
