Mech Believe MEGA BRAWL!! is an action-packed rogue lite inspired by the whimsical and fantastical play that children engage in with their toys. As an MFA thesis project, we are attempting to capture the childhood experiences of play and imagination, blurring the boundary between fantasy and reality.

As the project's lead producer, I have prioritized cultivating a culture of honesty, trust, and fun for our 24 member team! For a game all about reimagining childhood whimsy, it was important to establish a safe environment where the development process feels equally as imaginative and carefree.

Some ways I've accomplished this:

• Maintaining organization through task management, setting priorities, time estimates, and managing the scope of our systems-heavy project

• Leading team meetings, writing well-paced guiding notes and creating a organized hierarchy, with descending information trees from leads to individual team members

• Conducting milestone reviews and retros using Miro Board, constantly analyzing our workflow processes and creating actionable items to solve stresses
