What are the advantages (and disadvantages) of working in a really small team?
Something we often say to each other is that this is the most productive we’ve ever been in our lives. I think that’s especially true because we are bringing our industry experience into a small team. So it’s all the process and technology, but we’ve left behind lots of the production overheads. Kind of the best of both worlds. Something that surprises people is just how tight knit we are, we’re a proper little band. That comes from working intensely in a confined space, but also we were friends before this ever started. Ryan and I have sat side by side each other for years now, Grant and Dave grew up together. When it comes to working we have a kind of hive mind. Grant never has to do any concept art, he can just scribble and everyone knows exactly what he’s after. We definitely have to wear lots of hats, though. There are more roles for us to fill than there are people. I think we’re trying to make a pretty big game, we don’t have a designer, we don’t have PR, or a business manager.
