Jenn's Generally Good Game Production Advice
I have over 15 years experience in the games industry. I’m a games producer who loves helping teams ship their games on time, on budget, and with a happy team. I’ve worked on LA Noire, Return to Monkey Island, Gardens of Time, Thimbleweed Park, and created the genre-bending Edible Games Cookbook.
In this advice column I respond to game developers who are having problems on their teams. In each post there’s a video, audio, or text version of my response to questions.
