One of the important aspects of software development is project management. Keeping a team on track and keeping up with everyone’s progress is critical to finishing the project on time. Even for a one man shop, managing project milestones and task lists can help keep motivation high. There are many free solutions out there, but a commercial product that begs for consideration is Overlord.
Overlord is designed specifically for indie game development and mod teams. With a $20 price tag for a lifetime license, you get a big return on a tiny investment. Unlike other solutions, you are limited in the number of projects and users you can create only by the amount of disk space you have for your database. For multi-member teams, assigning tasks and tracking their progress is a snap. And while the current core feature set is enough to get the job done, more features are coming down the pipe: file manager, RSS feeds, plugin support, and more.
When you need a project management solution, keep Overlord on your list of projects to check out.
