Playful Project Management for Game Development

Why Game Devs Choose Codecks

Playful by Design

Creative teams shouldn’t feel like they’re filling out tax forms. Codecks is built for visual thinkers: playful, intuitive, and genuinely enjoyable to use. Higher team adoption means more accurate data, better planning, and less time hunting down status updates.

Codecks solves the communication problem for distributed teams elegantly, making it as easy as chat, and more reliable than email.

Hundreds of tickets but can’t answer “how far along is that shotgun asset?” Most tools bury your game under endless task lists. Codecks uses an asset-first hierarchy built for game production. See the state of every feature, asset, and pipeline at a glance. No digging. No guessing.

Having your game design documentation in the same tool as task management has given us many unforseen efficiencies.

All in One Tool

Maintaining tickets in one tool, timeline in another, moodboards in a third, and player feedback scattered across Discord and email? Codecks brings everything together: GDDs, tasks, milestones, asset pipelines, feedback, and more. One tool. One source of truth. Less chaos.

Codecks is an order of magnitude above all project management solutions we’ve used before.

We love Codecks! We use it to manage tasks for ourselves, but the ability to expose these to the community was a key feature for the public-facing nature of our project.

Having your game design documentation in the same tool as task management has given us many unforseen efficiencies. Codeck’s is a more intuitive design documentation tool than documents or wiki.

Codecks is an order of magnitude above all project management solutions we’ve used before. I’ve used other integrated tools before, but this takes it to a whole new level.

We tried a lot of different game project management tools but Codecks is the first one we stuck with and it’s now an integral part of our daily routine and planning.

If you’ve ever felt like falling asleep while using Jira, Trello or writing the 451st user story, this is the PJM tool for you. Elegant, responsive & more fun than shuffling sleeved cards.

Codecks is playful, easy to use and well arranged. I can manage tasks detailed enough to work efficiently but I do not lose any time on juggling with the project management software.

Jörg Reisig

Anomaly Games

It is super joyful to use Codecks! In other tools a lot of time was spent in the tool rather than working on problems. Codecks makes it super easy to change stuff around and super useful to keep track of things like metrics, blocks, reviews and multiple conversation threads.
