Nakon | FPS made in a cross-platform engine for PS5/PC

🎓 About the Project

This project was created by a team of 12 students (9 programmers and 3 artists). Without a dedicated designer, I stepped up as a first time producer—leading meetings, resolving conflicts, managing releases, and supporting workflow improvements.

• Learned how our choice of tools affected teamwork and version control.
• Emphasized peer reviews to boost team cohesion and morale.
• Found planning and managing scope pretty tough, but learned a lot from it.
• Balanced coding with leading the team, gaining valuable experience for future lead or indie projects.

💻 Technical Contributions

Although I focused mostly on production, I also contributed as a developer—mainly on bug fixes and in-engine usability tools.
