God of Riffs

This project was a massive undertaking and was my main focus for nearly 3 years. What initially began as a student project while completing my degree ended up becoming a full time job.

After our student prototype had been completed we spoke with Vyersoft who were interested in the project. In 2021 we signed a publishing agreement and began full production.

We initially were targeting Steam VR with an aim to finish within 6 months. We later pivoted to target Quest headsets, pushing the release date back over a year.

When we started Boss Music Games was a small team of four, two developers and two audio engineers. My position evolved as time went on as I was running both our studio and trying to manage God of Riffs as well as some other contract work we had coming in. 

For this project my responsibilities included:

• Project management
• Game design
• Documentation
• Running meetings
• Marketing
• Community management
• Recruiting and contracting
• Working with external stakeholders (our publisher and platform services)
• Art direction
• QA Testing
• Optimisation
• Platform certification (Steam and Meta App Lab)
