Internal Notes — November 2023
Greetings, and a warm welcome to the inaugural edition of Internal Notes - Yarsa Labs’ Monthly Newsletter.
Following the resounding success of our recent short article series, "Plugs and Pixels," unveiled during the vibrant festivities of Tihar over four days, we felt compelled to forge stronger connections with our valued users and readers. Our objective is to deepen engagement and share even more captivating content.
Every day, there’s something new brewing at Yarsa. However, providing those updates daily is impossible (that’s what we keep daily logs for ??). Recognizing the perpetual narrative of our work, we decided to launch a monthly newsletter to ensure everyone remains abreast of our endeavours starting this November.
Here goes the first edition…..
November was a busy month for us at Yarsa, to say the least. Everyone was occupied with their own tasks, but we all had one thought in common in the back of our heads - Tihar vacation.
Multiple deadlines and releases approached us as always, but we were looking forward to the holydays. Recognizing the adeptness of our team and anticipating a well-deserved respite, the teams consistently excelled in meeting deadlines with finesse.
Here’s a short recap if you missed our key moments from the past month.
We collaborated with our colleagues at Yarsa Tech and Yarsa Games to bring you Plugs and Pixels. It was one of the biggest highlights of November as it gave birth to our LinkedIn newsletter (after a series of events).
Coming together to create content was a fun experience for everyone who participated as we learned more about the origin and hardships the team faced while working on some of our most thriving projects.
We hope you all enjoyed the content discussing the evolution of four of our proudest and most successful products (so far).
Check out our short-article series if you missed out on them. We hope to keep bringing you more behind-the-scenes stories from our various teams in the future.
