The context
Ch3ss M4tch is the first of two mobile titles Big Byte Studios shipped, released in May 2022. As executive producer I ran it from production through store launch, the full cycle, on a small indie footprint.
What I owned
- Release management. Drove the project to a shippable state and handled the app store submission process on both iOS and Android.
- Contractor direction. Directed the art and sound contractors who delivered the game’s assets, running direction and delivery reviews.
- Capability building. Coached my co-founder through the release process so the studio could ship without a single point of failure.
