Presentation of the exchange:
During the exchange program, generally worked on the new game of From the Bench Games, TopStars.
TopStars is a multiplayer card game which you can play with the mobile phones. When I joined the team, the most important parts of TopStars has already finished and it was very close to publish. It is a really important process of game development, game looks already finished, but also, it has lots of missing part. Right now we published the game for soft launch and following metrics. During my Erasmus program, I experienced this process with all details and it was very useful and valuable for me. Also, we talked about how From the Bench Games established, what they did until now, and what is next. It was also very valuable to getting answer to these questions.
