Our Rules

Project rules and guide lines


  • Communication language is English, and if problems arise, Finnish can be used to solve the communication problem.
  • We will create a harmonious space for everyone to work.
  •  The team meetings and deadlines  are planned in advance so that everyone has time to organize and react to them.
  • Every team member must participate to every team meeting, coaching classes, and other work related gathering events or must inform before if he/she is not capable of joining.
  • Firstly, the team organizes regular face to face meetings; then the use of social media platform or other web based communication platform must be unanimously agreed between team members.
    • Whatsapp will be used for easy regular discussion
    • Google Drive is to be used to share files and as a working environment
    • Blog can be edited by all members of the team
  • Team sessions will be used efficiently
  • I share my ideas, and I give my opinions/what I think to my team members.
  • If I am confused or do not understand, I ask help from my team members.
  • Beyond the team, we help each others and are open to discussing about differences (in personalities/cultures/working methods)
  • I will always listen to my team members and do my best to understand their opinions and ideas:
    • When disagreeing with someone, I will always do it in a respectful manner (eg. instead of saying “you are wrong”, I will say “this idea may not entirely be accurate” and I always explain why).
    • When disagreeing, I do it with rationalization.
  • I create, share and respect.
  • Whenever we face problems we openly discuss the problem.

Re-alignment rules:   
  1. If after open discussions about disobeying the above rules twice, and the person still fails to apply the rules will we start considering to leave the person out of this project

Who we are

We are the members of the project Exman3D. Today we got to meet each other and get familiar with project, the premises and the workflow expected from us in the duration of this project. After that, we got to our first task of the project, which would be creating an Optima page and a blog(it's the one you're reading right now!) for this team.

ExMan-3D is a sims-like game aimed at service industry professionals,  where you play the role of the office manager taking care of a restaurant, so most of us chose it due to our interest in creating art in general and video-games specifically!
