Cut sync meetings 60% by moving the studio into Meta Town
Northwind Studios
Challenge — A fully remote game studio split across four time zones. Daily standups and pairing sessions were eating engineering time and burning out the leads.
Outcome — Replaced the standup, status, and pairing meetings with a persistent virtual studio. The team kept the casual collaboration but recovered the calendar.
