Separate departments?

[Rocco]

do you have a strict division of work?
especially for story and puzzles, do you work it out in the whole team, or is one the lets say the "head of the story"?

For the first 6 months, it's just going to be Gary and I. Gary will be doing all the art, I will be doing all the programming and we'll both be designing and writing. We'll being on additional game scripters and some artist and animators later. The team will go from 2 to maybe 5 or 5. When the game gets 6 months from being done, we'll bring on 3 or 4 testers.

thank you, i assume its similar to how you have done it back in 1987 and before.

Yeah, Maniac Mansion was three people: Me, Gary and David. I miss making games with very small teams and one of the things I'm looking forward to the most.

Yes, hanging around with friends at the pool and drinking mageritas the whole day, that's cool.
