     One more sprint down, and now I know why all my producers in the past have always been so stressed, especially at the beginning of the project. Our kick off was a little rocky mainly because I was laying the tracks in front of the train and I did just do it again this kick off and it is not fun at all, so I did sit down with my designer so that I can get a much better understanding of the game and so we can brainstorm everything that will need to be worked on and get the backlog figured out.

I am really looking forward to the rest of the semester, but also a little worried, as this is my first time as a producer, and all I have ever seen about the role was what was shown and never any of the other behi...
