Evidence
Devlog
WebGL
I found 2 ways on how to do this and I advise for the best one in each scenario.
Project Rework
The project rework wasn't something the stakeholders asked for, but I advised them it would be a good idea.
GameBus & SugarVita (Concepting)
I advised both Pieter and Harm on what would be the best for both parties.
Release IOS
Without me advising Harm to create an IOS developer account, this devlog entry wouldn't even exist.
Stepping Stones
Project Plan
This document is filled with advise to myself on how to operate in the internship.
Additional Explanation
The Diagame project is very diverse and consists of some people with very different jobs and way of thinking. This is good, because ideas will be more diverse. On the other hand it is more difficult to balance all interests and make sure everyone's on the same page. I've always looked at the benefits certain features would have for both SugarVita (Harm) and GameBus (Pieter) and always made sure I explained things in a way that it would be clear for all parties involved to prevent confusion.
Below you can find and example of an email I send to Harm about the possibilities and needs when it comes to releasing games on the Google Play Store.
I'm also still planning to create a transfer document with advise on how to install the project and how to expand on the features I added in case of a new employee. This however, will only be created after the hand in date of the portfolio, so I won't be able to show it here.
