Project
Management
My first experience as manager
Learned a lot!
Deadlines are hard.
Everyone is in it for free.
GitHub issues
Keep everyone motivated!
It's not always easy.
Some problems we had
and what we learned from them
Finding people is hard
Especially because we don't earn money
Passion is important
I love working on this stuff.
Team morale!
SUPER important
Marketing

Google Chrome Experiments
Any questions?
Thank you!

Ironbane: How it’s made
By Nick Janssen
Ironbane: How it’s made
Tokyo WebGL Meetup, 6 Jun 2015. An inside look at a large-scale 3D browser game made in WebGL. The goal of this talk is to give a broad overview of what comes into play when building a larger-scale application such as Ironbane. He will talk about how the project started, how it evolved, what the code is like, what technology we are using, how our server infrastructure works, how we update and deploy our game, our community, problems we had and how we solved them, marketing, the team, project management and a short Q&A session.
