Efficient game production is done in phases with sprints. In this guide, we've broken down each sprint into missions to complete them one step at a time.
FOR ALL SKILL LEVELS

SOLO PROJECTS - Use sprints to prioritize your time carefully if you have a deadline.
TEAM PROJECTS - Finish your project faster by assigning roles and overlapping sprints.
