Find the Red Boot

Where's the boot at?

This project is a result of an experimental game jam to learn the practical application of Agile and Scrum rituals and how they influence the workspace and the outcome.

In the beginning, we were presented with a brief from a “Stakeholder” - .exe, min 5 minutes of gameplay, some sort of story/narrative, not A/B class bugs, published online

The whole jam was totally crunch-free and lasted for 4 days. Each day started at 10 am and ended at 4 pm. Only 2-4 people were actively working on the project at a time. Each day we had a micro-version of sprint rituals - sprint planning, sprint retro, and build review. Total development time (without production activities) was around 13 hours over the course of the whole jam.

Using production methods and techniques we created a comfortable, safe, and creative space, managed to make a project that fits the brief without anyone burning out, conflicting, or stressing, and we were happy about the outcome in the end. In 13 hours, using proper breakdown, planning, and prioritization, we made a game with roughly 8 minutes of gameplay, progression, no A/B bugs, and, funnily enough, a narrative that satisfied our Stakeholder - “Find the Red Boot”

Feel free to play and experience the effect of good production on the product and the team!
