What means III ?

“If they’re a team of 10 or more controlling the

development, funding, and publishing of their titles —

 then they’re Triple-I” Morgan Jaffit

Funding

You need enough time and talent to reach III quality

Development

• Much smaller than in AAA Studio

• Many Freelancers => iteration become slower on those aspects

• Serialize instead of parallelism => issue of being stuck => Hard to predict a schedule

• Hard to establish a long term vision => every project is life or death of the studio
