For student teams
Every student team has the person who does the work and the person who doesn't. Usually it costs someone a grade. If the project ships after graduation, it costs them a share of a real game.
A student game project has a grading problem and an ownership problem, and they need the same evidence.
The grading problem is immediate: your instructor needs to know who contributed what, and "we all worked equally" is rarely true and never verifiable. The ownership problem is dormant until the capstone gets a publisher email, at which point a five-person team discovers nobody ever discussed who owns it.
Both are solved by the same habit — tracking contribution while the work happens, rather than reconstructing it under pressure.

A contribution record showing who completed what, when. More useful at assessment time than a commit log, because it covers art, audio, design and writing too.
Sprint planning and review map onto course milestones, so the project structure is the same one you're being graded against.
If the capstone becomes a real release, the contribution history is already there and the split conversation has a factual starting point.
The worst time to discuss who owns a student project is after someone has a job offer and someone else has a publisher interested. People's incentives have diverged and the shared context is gone.
The best time is while you're all still in the same room and nobody knows whether the project is worth anything. Agreements written under those conditions tend to be fairer, because nobody is optimising against a known outcome.
You don't need a lawyer for this. You need a record of contribution and a written agreement that everyone signed while they still agreed. Both are free on the platform.
It costs nothing, and it's much easier than reconstructing a semester of work at the end of it.
