If a group of people are happy while they’re working together towards a common goal, then they’re motivated, engaged and they’re going to do the best work of their lives.

Kev has nearly a decade of experience working in games, and throughout that time he has stuck to two guiding principles:

Put yourself in the players’ shoes.

Play the game you’re making! Feel what it’s like to be on the other side of the software.

No surprises

Work as openly and transparently as possible across all disciplines, overshare progress, communicate every step of the journey. That’s the way to succeed and have a team that feels ownership, and a high level of confidence and morale in the project.
