<aside> 👉 In our opinion, the traditional art review process in game studios is broken. Feedback from key stakeholders often comes late and at the end of a work cycle, which means that a lot of effort gets wasted as this feedback needs to be incorporated.

mudstack gives you the ability to have your work continuously reviewed because stakeholders can jump in and inspect files right in the browser.

Not having to spend hours cumulatively trying to find, download, open and inspect files in their various creation suites means that stakeholders are finally empowered to make the lives of their artists easier.

Expensive mistakes can be caught and fixed early in the process, saving everyone massive headaches and keeping projects on track. Win-win!
