Arpita Kapoor will talk about an approach to bootstrapping a game studio with Remote Lean Collaborative working as the central focus. She will discuss how Mech Mocha assembled a development team spread across the globe, found people/studios who agreed to collaborate on a part-payment part rev-share mode, and aggregated a toolset they used to facilitate effective remote working. Arpita will share her experience of creating an original IP of Puppet Punch without having the whole team under one roof and without paying skyrocketing costs to contract workers. She also discusses the key differences between contract work and collaboration, and highlights pros and cons of both. The talk covers a quick list of do's and don'ts and challenges faced in this mode of operation.
