Hey KitHackers,
As you probably already know by now, we are very much the definition of a “Tiny Team”, therefore it seems quite appropriate for us to be in the Tiny Teams Weekend Deal.
Working as such a small team, especially on a project this large, is a very strange experience. On one hand, it is enormously difficult, simply because of the sheer amount of work that has to get done. On the other hand, we don't have any of the difficulties that come from managing a large team, communicating design ideas, specifications and so on. There's probably a happy middle ground in team size somewhere... I guess I'm still looking for that.
In KSP, the core team had about 8 people, at its peak. A lot more came and went over the years, but the team was never what you could consider large. I think that worked in our favour then, but even then, I remember having extreme difficulties with simply communicating ideas so that they were clear to everybody. I can confidently say we didn’t have any issues like that this time, with only two or three people involved at a time.
All in all though, I'm not sure I would recommend this style of game development. I certainly wouldn't complain about having a few more hands on deck, but adding extra team members this late in the project usually costs more work than it saves... I would definitely try to not be entirely on my own when starting off a future project.
Anyhow, I think we very much fit the definition of a Tiny Team. And to celebrate that, you can pick up the game at 33% off during the Weekend Deal!
I want to also take the opportunity here to also give a warm welcome to all the new players - I hope you’re having fun in KitHack so far! It’s been a pleasure to see the Discord community grow over the last week. We’re very lucky to have a ton of amazing community members who can show new players the ropes.
Again, thank you everyone for taking the time to jump in and play. It means a lot to us.
Happy KitHacking!
