Project Post-Mortem

This was my first AA project coming out of college. I was put onto the project mid way through the Megastructures DLC development and learned how important meeting marketing deadlines is. I was mentored for my first 2 months and I got to see how interconnected Marketing and Production could be.
The flow of a project's progression may look different based on the teams composition. Even with many talented minds I got to learn knowing your teams strengths and weaknesses is extremely important to maintain the projects health.
People in the community may not like the DLC or the updates that you put out. I have come to learn that this is not a reflection of the hard work that gets put into the project.
