My Time with Issue Manager and Game Development

Continuing from my last post involving the use of source control in my game development projects, another tool that I felt is a helpful asset to this process is Issue Manager. Here at the Guildhall, we use Issue Manager as an application that allows the team to report bugs/errors found in the game or engine.

On my current projects, I serve as the Assistant Producer for two 2D platform games that are built on a brand new engine created internally by SMU. Considering that the engine is fairly new, Issue Manager has served as a great tool when reporting problems. Below is our method of using Issue Manager.

Wrap-Up
Overall, Issue Manager is an extremely useful tool when it comes to game development. It has helped my teams greatly by alerting them about bugs or errors found during the production phase of our project. I would definately recommend looking into this tool when working on any game development projects.
