Plenty of you have heard about our city’s own superhero Phoenix Jones, but less have heard about the Mighty Morphin Park Rangers, a group of athletic teens who protect Seattle from eastern washingtonian threats by combining their Bear Zord, Salmon Zord, Eagle Zord, Raccoon Zord, and Douglas Fir Zord into the colossal and mighty CASCADIAZORD!

"I wish I could make a game but get other people to do all the art and writing and programming and" you literally can. It's called being the project manager, and all you have to do to get this job is be willing to write all the emails, make all the phone calls, set up and moderate all the group chats, schedule and lead all the meetings, monitor and follow up on all the deadlines, coordinate with all relevant third parties, and personally chase down the answer to every question that anyone might conceivably ask about anything. If that sounds like your idea of a good time, there are any number of projects that would love to have you on board.

(If you're thinking "wait, I've seen lots of indie game projects with nobody doing that job", that's one of the primary reasons most indie game projects with team sizes larger than 3–5 people fail. Without a dedicated PM role, the best you can hope for is that one of your team members is an absolute rock star who's able to do full-time PM work on top of their creative role, and if you're very lucky they manage to stick it out for a couple of projects before they burn out and the team falls apart. In a more typical case, everybody wants to be a creative and nobody does the PM work, and then your Kickstarter campaign gets to be the subject of a wildly speculative what-went-wrong video by a YouTube personality who talks like a Sesame Street character.)

This is so, so true! I've stepped in to so many indie projects that are filled with talent only to ask, "So, who's your PM?" and receive a blank stare as a reply. Those projects do not make it, full stop.

The older I've gotten, and the more teams I work on the more I have learned to appreciate having people who can organize and manage people and operations. Just because you can't draw a stick figure doesn't mean you cant be creative and those skills are sorely needed, and too often overlooked!
