Throughout college, as well as within the gaming industry, you have to learn how to adapt to different environments as well as different groups of people that not only have a different work flow, but also different work experience. When joining a new team, it can be difficult to get your bearings. Many people on the team already have a steady workflow that has gotten them to a point of producing quality work. When being added to a team that has already established their flow, it is important to not only learn their successful workflow, but to voice your own opinions for your own successful workflow.

The leads for Project Nautilus are very strong and hardworking in what they do. They created a workflow that worked for them in order to produce quality work to meet important deadlines. In the beginning, Project Nautilus had some issues when establishing new members onto the team. The new members aren’t used to the successful pipeline of the original group. Throughout the process of learning how to add new team members into the workflow, it was a bit rocky. Project Nautilus, through a bit of a rocky process, has been able to establish all the new members (including myself) into their successful workflow as well as accommodate the needs of the members.

Throughout the process of being added to a team that already had a successful workflow, it was a bit nerve racking at first. Concerns of not being able to meet the needs of the group, or understand the workflow, or even having members not like others within the group are always high. Teams I have been on in the past don’t always get along with one another, therefore the successful workflow can diminish. With Project Nautilus, I have felt that my opinions have been heard, questions are answered within a timely manner and with the utmost respect, and most importantly, the team acts similar to a community. Everyone wants to help others out amongst the team, and share new techniques to help others learn better. With this positive atmosphere, I have learned to thrive and have motivation to provide my team with quality work.
