The context

Ch3ss M4tch is one of two titles Big Byte Studios shipped to mobile in 2023. 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.

Outcomes

  • Directed art and sound contractors through delivery
