In /trunk/, I usually have a /game, a /docs and a /scratch. Inside /game, I have /lib (all library code), /src (all code specific to this project), /assets (things I embed), /bin (where the .swf builds to), /bin/runtime (runtime assets that the bin needs).

Inside /assets or /bin/runtime, I’ll usually have a /ui, a /audio and then the rest depends on the game, but usually /characters, /world, etc.

I’d say the most important thing is consistency. If its consistent then at least you can find what you need when you want it. :)

I am just setting it all up now and the temptation is go nice and detailed laying everything out by 2D art, 3D Art and Audio, subcategorizing things into areas such as 'characters, props, animals, environments' . But I am not sure if this is the best way to go about it and would love some tips on how you set things up.</p> <p>many thanks</p> I would love to know how you structured your Project Tree, especially when it comes to the art assets.
