Contribution
I took care of the heavy lifting programming for example the character controller or makeing sure the game runs smoothly on Switch. But I also created our agile process and did the things necessary to ship the project in time and budget.
On the company side i took care of managing the finances, contracts and HR.
Project development
Derpy Conga started as a gamejam project for Ludum Dare. I joined Corrado after the gamejam and we started developing the prototype in our free time. In 2020 we got a grant from the Film und Medienstiftung NRW that allowed us to go full-time on the project and grow the team with Leonie and Melissa. Our goal was to release Derpy Conga on Switch and PC after a year of production.
