Waterfall vs Agile & Game Development (Venba edition)
summary
Small indie team uses ClickUp and a level-by-level Gantt chart for Venba (seven levels), plans with a 1.5x buffer, and still misses schedule: expected Sep 2022, ships July 2023. Early bulk planning produces technically functional but unshippable levels, lots of art rework and overlooked marketing/contract time. Iterating with a depth-first loop and testing one fake recipe export uncovers a faster implementation and reduces wasted art work, proving iterative prototyping finds practical risks better than large upfront plans.
