I was a part of a 16 student team at the NHTV University of Breda, making the game as a case study for a new academic research in development by Dr. Mata Haggis 'The Taxonomy of Keys'.

I joined the team as Scrum Master and part-time QA tester. During my time as Scrum Master I was commended by my team for announcing meetings clearly in advance and keeping them to the point, checking up on individuals once a week to find any possible bottlenecks, and for being well organised and easily approachable. Most of the communication was done over Slack, which I also used to announce meetings and other important information in. It also facilitated daily stand-ups, general communication, ways to receive feedback, and memes — which were kept in the appropriate muted channel.

The amount of work I got to do for QA was unfortunately quite limited, but I did manage to set up a bug report system, an easily accessible test plan for others to request tests from, and brought up over 60 bugs and points of improvement within a limited amount of time.

In the last two weeks I also took upon the task of creating a trailer, as it was one of the project's deliverables and as a Scrum Master I was well-aware that the artists had their hands full. Allowing others to continue my QA work part-time gave me enough time to concept, record, and edit the footage for The Key Tax trailer. It was important to me that the trailer conveyed the game's absurdity and surrealist humour as well as possible.
