LogInTry a new approach to game development with this tool inspired by collectible card games.
While most video games are a lot of fun to play, being involved in their production doesn't always feel that way. Even before the current industry turbulence, organizing tasks, prioritizing work, and collaborating effectively have always been difficult. Being a game developer means juggling many roles at once, and these challenges have become even more noticeable now, especially as game development has become accessible to nearly everyone.
The good news is that many tools also exist to address these challenges, often created by people within the industry who understand its unique demands. Wanting to recapture and blend fun with productivity, the Codecks team built a project management system inspired by card games, an ideal match for the playful culture, workflows, and creative processes in game development.
Codecks is designed to cover all your needs in one platform, offering support for everything from game design documents and tasks to milestones, asset pipelines, and more. Features such as Hero Cards and Journeys replace traditional agile terms like epics, offering a more fun approach. The platform also includes built-in conversation threads with notifications, time tracking, analytics, and the option to publicly share your projects online, along with other handy features.
Codecks has a Discord bot named Decky, created to help busy game developers manage their communities, gather feedback, and keep fans updated on project progress. Another handy bot, Steamy, lets you monitor Steam reviews for any game so you can stay on top of what players are saying.
There's also a Slack integration that lets you create tasks for yourself or teammates directly within your Slack workspace, and GitHub, Bitbucket, and GitLab integrations that allow you to attach your messages directly to the relevant cards.
