The bug list and the roadmap live apart
Bugs sit in one tracker, features in another, and art in a shared drive. Nobody can see the whole milestone in one place.
Gaming
A task tool your studio
A task tool your studio
will want to open.
Milestones, bugs, art, and build tasks in one place, with a Progression System your team already understands, because you build these loops for a living.

Why It Matters
Built by gamers, for the teams that make games
Design, art, engineering, QA, and production on one plan
Fits the way your studio already plans sprints and milestones
Quick and simple setup, before the next build
The Problem
The work behind every milestone is hard to see
The milestone goes quiet until it slips
Everyone is heads down. The producer finds out a dependency is late in the standup the week before gold.
The team sees through gamification
Your team knows a badge and a streak counter when they see one. A tool that fakes it loses them in a day.
The Platform
Everything a studio runs on
Log a bug as fast as you find it
Type it, press Enter, set size, build number, owner, and priority in one step. It is in the right project before the playtest ends.
A project per milestone, a section per discipline
Design, art, code, audio, and QA each get a section, and tags sort by feature, platform, or build.
A list for the producer, a board for the team
Producers see an ordered list of every deliverable and its date. Designers and engineers work from a board they arrange their own way. Same tasks, no reconciling.
Repro steps stay with the bug
Screenshots, builds, and repro notes attach to the task they belong to. When the bug comes back in the next build, the whole history is already there.
Find any task mid-playtest
Search and filter across every milestone. When the lead asks about the boss encounter bug, you have it open while they are still talking.
The Gamified Layer
A progression loop your team will respect
Every bug fixed, asset shipped, and build cut moves your studio's Progression System forward. It is a real loop with real rewards, built by people who play games, for people who make them.
Badges mark the milestones your team reaches, and hidden easter eggs reward the curious.
Bugs, assets, and builds all count toward the next milestone. Clear a Dungeon and open a chest with rewards inside.
Each team member picks a Realm, enters one of its Dungeons, and clears it through everyday production work.
THE PAYOFF
What your studio gets back
A milestone you can see in week six
The Progression System gives the team a reason to keep tasks current long after the kickoff, so the producer sees real status instead of asking for it.
Fewer surprises before gold
Dependencies, blockers, and owners are visible to everyone, so a late asset shows up on the board weeks before it shows up in the standup.
Credit for the unglamorous work
The person who closes twenty bugs a week earns progress and rewards, not only the person who shipped the feature in the trailer.
The Comparison
How MagicTask compares
Jira handles any workflow a studio can design. The setup is heavy, and most of the team only opens it when the producer asks.
Habitica takes the closest approach to this, a fun retro RPG for solo habits, but it’s built for personal use, not running a studio across art, design, and QA.
HacknPlan is built for game dev and does that job well. It’s still a tracker, so it gives the team no reason to keep it current once crunch sets in.
MagicTask keeps the whole milestone in one place and gives the team a loop they already understand, so the board stays current through crunch.
