Demo cooperation
Just a short question regarding demo creation involving a large group of people.
What kind of tools do you guys use for communication/discussion, screenshots, uploads etc.. ?
And what experiences do you have with it?
Best regards /Glasnost. |

With really big teams (10+) SVN, IRC and Google-docs worked pretty well. With a smaller team regular Skype-conferences worked better than IRC.
Advantage IRC: We automatically pushed daily IRC-logs into the SVN, so everyone not taking part at a discussion could atleast read it later (Yes, we are the NSA).
Advantage Skype: Voice chats are nicer and more efficient than typing stuff on IRC, but dont work with 18 people.
We also tried to use Redmine for tasks and bug reports. But that didnt work, since not everyone liked it. |

IRC, Dropbox and good old e-mail. We haven't tried the SVN route yet (even with PC stuff) because most of the time each discipline is handled by one person only, and as they're mostly coder-driven demos the other assets get added late in production. As long as the memory map gets agreed early stuff usually slots together ok with only transition stuff to fix. |

We're using Slack for real-time communication. The only drawback with it is the limited search functionality with the free plan (and the paid plans are too expensive for hobby projects.) Other than that, it's great.
GitHub for code hosting, a few of us at least.
Dropbox for sharing binaries. |

We're not currently doing any big multi-person projects, but same here really; Dropbox for sharing files and Facebook or sometimes IRC for discussion.
It works for what we're doing at least, your mileage may vary of course. =-) |

We use GIT @ Bitbucket together with an online BB-forum and a dropbox for release builds and other data that doesn't need to be in GIT. |

Even if you're just a single person, there's no good reason NOT to use a source control system. |
