Pitfalls

While the program offers the opportunity to work collaboratively on a game, poor organization can hinder your project. To avoid this, follow these guidelines:

• Create Separation: Divide tasks by having specific teams work on specific separate systems.
  • Having teams work on systems which are highly integrated creates too much communication overhead.
• Regular Reintegration: Reintegrate the code on a bi-weekly to maintain cohesion.
• Minimize Communication Overhead: Getting on the same page with a large amount of volunteers is extremely challenging.

We warn you in the strongest possible terms that you must memorize, practice, and repractice the above if you want to avoid the pitfalls of the freedom granted by the Accelerated Legion Program.

FAQ

• Do we have to have the whole Legion work on a single game if we join?
  •  No, you can use your own discretion to decide which people work on which project.
