Indie Game Scope Guard
A web app that acts like a lightweight producer for solo and indie game teams. It evaluates every new feature against release goals, estimates hidden task expansion, and forces defer-or-approve decisions before work enters the active roadmap.
이것이 중요한 이유
You start with a manageable game, then one interesting idea turns into UI work, balance changes, content creation, testing, and redesign. Because you are also your own producer, there is nobody forcing tradeoffs when a tempting mechanic appears. Generic boards record the chaos but do not stop it. The result is that the fun parts keep expanding while the hard work needed to finish gets postponed. You do not necessarily need a heavier project tool. You need a system that catches bad scope decisions early, makes hidden cost visible, and helps you preserve creative ideas without letting them hijack the current release.
- · Solo developers and very small game teams actively trying to ship a commercial or public release within the next 3-12 months.을(를) 위해 제작되었습니다.
- · 가장 유력한 수익화 모델: SaaS subscription.

근거 요약
AI가 이 인사이트를 합성한 방법 — 직접 인용 없음
This is the strongest signal in the discussion. Scope creep appeared in roughly twenty-one mentions after merging both batches, with high intensity and repeated examples of small ideas causing major follow-on work. Users also described generic boards and documents as inadequate because they track tasks but do not protect release scope or expose hidden cost before a feature is accepted.
