Codecks
Card-based project management built for game development studios
What is Codecks?
Codecks is a project management tool made by game developers for game studios. Work is organized as cards in decks and projects, planned against milestones and runs, and a studio can define a production pipeline once and apply it to every new asset. It also collects bug reports and ideas from a game's community through a Discord bot and in-engine plugins. Prices are listed in euros.
Codecks has a free plan. Paid plans start at €6 per user / month, billed yearly (€7 billed monthly). See every plan

Key features
- Cards, decks and projects
- Tasks are cards grouped into decks and projects, each with a workflow state, effort, priority, tags and an owner. Doc cards hold design documentation beside the tasks.
- Hero Cards and Journeys
- Define a production pipeline once, with steps, estimates and checklists, and apply it automatically whenever a new asset is created.
- Milestones and Runs
- Plan work against milestones and time-boxed runs. On Pro, Beast Mode marks cards that keep rolling from sprint to sprint without being finished.
- Dependencies and Guardians
- On Pro, cards can be linked as dependencies so the next person is notified when it is their turn, and guardians act as required reviewers for a deck.
- Community feedback
- Decky, the Discord bot, turns ideas and bug reports from a game's community into cards with upvotes and status updates. Unity and Unreal plugins send in-game reports.
- Open Decks
- Share a project's roadmap publicly so players can subscribe, follow progress and leave feedback that flows back into the workspace.
