Things have been moving fast behind the scenes, and I wanted to drop a quick update for everyone following the journey of Mandatory Fun Games and our flagship project.
Rebuilding the Pipeline
This week I completely wiped and rebuilt our Jira setup from scratch. Starting fresh gives us a chance to build a clean, organized production pipeline going into January. It’s a reset button I’ve needed for a while, and now I’m structuring our first true sprint with clarity and intention.
Tools, Workflow, and Focus
I've been spending time getting comfortable with:
- Jira & Confluence
- GitHub and better version-control habits
- Long-term planning for the studio’s production flow
It feels good to finally have all these systems working together instead of fighting against me.
Discord Community & Experiments
Our dev Discord has been active lately, especially with the new RPG-style bot we’ve been messing around with. It’s buggy, chaotic, and exactly the kind of weird little experiment that makes game dev fun. More updates on that soon.
Marketing, Branding, and Weird Ideas
Work continues on polishing the Mandatory Fun Games brand, and I’m also exploring some out-there marketing concepts for Dooms Day Delivery Service, including a hyperrealistic mascot mask for conventions. Yes, I’m absolutely serious.
What’s Next
December is all about:
- Finalizing the production roadmap
- Tightening the team structure
- Prepping for the January sprint
- Continuing to build out studio infrastructure
- Keeping momentum through the holidays
Big things are coming in the new year.
