Fantasy game development project manager Rachael R interview

 

Rachael has been working with her friend on four games and I spoke to her at Magfest about their latest game, Akari.

1:40 – Rachael talks about the anime based game Akari. She has to go into the underworld to save her sister.

2:24 – She’s worked on three other games. They use timelines and storyboards to figure out when the game is ready.

3:13 – She’s inspired by the people playing the game. She uses gant charts to help develop the games. She’s taken engineering and independent research courses to become skilled at this work.

6:15 – There aren’t many women in computer engineering and game development. But Rachael hasn’t had any challenges though. She’s found that being vocal overcomes challenges.

9:04 – Her first big success has been doing well in college.

10:24 – She thinks games and education support each other. Games are also stress relief.

10:59 – She used to watch Doctor Who, Star Trek and everything with her dad.
