Thanks man, Milanote will be helpful!

I'm a writer and I use milanote to plan my stories, my boards actually do look like a wall of text but with arrows, and those arrows really do help me sort things out plus milanote also has a 'document' card where I can tuck paragraphs into so that my board isn't just full of story details, that's helpful as well :D You're a huge inspiration goodgis! I dream of working together with a group of passionate people like you do with Firith. Keep up the amazing work!

I totally agree with you. If you don't organize your game you can even not finish it or lose interest. Would be good to know how you organize your game, what you use (I think you use more than just board), and how you separate ideas from approved ones. How to work with this in a team :)

Milanote reminds me of Miro, they seems very similar (collaborative free form canvas). Personally I like to use Notion though, since it also looks great, you can have pages in pages in pages... And you can also do databases, todo lists, and much more!

This is a cool video. I was mostly looking to get an idea of what game development organization even looks like, since I’ve never done that or been involved in it. And it did give me a general feel. I wonder how many development teams would benefit from someone who could help organize the ideas and work as part of the team. I like things to be neat personally, and it was just something that popped in my head as I start learning game creation skills.

Omg, this will be SO helpful, thank you! I'm beginning Game Dev. and I'm always losing track of what I have to do :/

At least for how I do things, Kanban boards are good for visual projects but horrible for things which require tasks. Much like you do, I did spend about 1 month testing pretty much every task management tool on the market and ended up setting on Quire. And I did set up on it for one particular reason: every single task manager out there seems to always put recurring tasks behind paid plans while that feature is free on Quire.

I wish Milanote would fuse with Whimsical. Milanote boards inside boards is just... fantastic, but it still has usability issues, like the need to click on "arrow" then selecting both ends. Whimsical makes this way easier but unfortunately, Whimsical doesn't have the board inside board approach, which is something that makes so much sense to me.

Like what specifically? It's a pretty basic pixel art software.

I wonder about this software potentially having a trap in how much you can sink into making it “look nice” ultimately I respect that it’s all about conveying information and if pictures make it more efficient then great. My worry would be that at a certain point it’s just looking nicer than a Kanban board rather than actually executing the task better. If you read this, would love to read your thoughts about it

Perhaps you actually don't need it? The board should help you organize your game so if you find yourself working on your game without it just fine and having a hard time updating your board to reflect that, either you have another way of organizing your thoughts or you just don't need it.
