At GDC (Game Developers Conference). continuing my Learning…

I'm excited to announce that I'll be speaking at GDC 2024! This talk will focus on why and how to incorporate gameplay feedback direction into your pre-production pipeline. Not concepting the look of your feedback early enough in pre-production can leave your team paralyzed as they encounter unforeseen conflicts and struggle to find solutions on the fly. Using examples from Dead by Daylight, this talk will show where we went wrong, how we corrected our mistakes, and the lessons we learned for the future!

How can minigames best serve your worldbuilding? Two Saltsea Chronicles devs recount the development of a trick-taking card game, Spoils, in this insightful design talk. In the fictional world of Saltsea Chronicles, each island community plays Spoils, but with their own house rules. Find out how they did it, only at GDC 2024! https://bit.ly/46nQCv7

After 11 years in games, I'm super excited to finally get the chance to attend GDC for the first time! Let me know if you'll be around! Happy to meet over breakfast, coffee, lunch, dinner, walk, beer, endless debates on "what is UX?", "the value of playtesting", "quant vs qual", or a combo of the above. Also, if you like free beer and nice people, link is in the post below ;)

We are looking forward to joining our friends at the Fair Play Alliance at the Game Developers Conference on Monday, March 18. Michael Preston and Sarah Jacobstein will join Kimberly Voll, PhD, Weszt Hart, Natasha Miller, and Shuli Gilutz, Ph.D. 🔜 GDC for Harmonizing Multiplayer Experiences, an interactive workshop. In this workshop, we will go through some best practices for risk assessment to determine where you can anticipate player behavior problems in a game, identifying what good looks like for your game, and using behavior subgroups to create a framework for how to think about the player dynamics within a game. We will then spend time working on practical features or interventions to help enhance your desired dynamics and reduce the problematic ones. We’ll also look at how you can set and measure outcomes to assess how your game and its community are doing from a player-dynamics lens. If you'll be at GDC, please let us know! https://lnkd.in/eH-bTNta

When publishing Unity games on the web, performance is one of the key challenges. By helping hundreds of game developers to bring their Unity games to the web, we've learned a lot about this. Part of this is already covered by our open-source Unity optimization tool (link in the comments) but our colleague Florin Ciornei is sharing even more knowledge at the JSGameDev Summit at the end of this month!
