FAKK2 Postmortem

by Steve Gibson Dec 19, 2000 6:14pm CST tags: FAKK2
Gamasutra has a new one of those postmortem articles. This time the focus is on FAKK2 from Ritual Entertainment. Some of the most interesting reading on the net if you're into gaming. The article is by Scott Alden who has since left Ritual in favor of 3DRealms. The game turned out quite good although criticized for being a bit short. Amazingly look at this:

No project management. During the development of F.A.K.K. 2, we had a project manager at the beginning of the project and a different project manager near the end. There were 12 months of development time in between, during which we had little to no management on the project. There were members of the team that took on this role, but only in a limited capacity, as they had tons of other work to do as well.
