How to define granularity of art bible documentation? Tatu Petersen-Jessen: "Well, if your people get hit by bus..." #NGS18 #gamedev #riskmanagement

A lot of people have been talking about crunch culture in the game industry from a moral angle. I wanna take a more utilitarian angle. My background: been in the game biz since ’96, worked everything from 2D kid games to AAA open world. I’ve done the 100 hour work week.

Announcing our 2018 study of #gamedev culture: the Team Performance Project! surveymonkey.com/r/ZRBY5PG If you worked as part of a #gamedev team (AAA, #indiedev, or anything in between) for a shipped or cancelled game in the last 5 years, please take our new survey & share widely!

Fullbright Baldur’s Gate 1 shipped in debug mode because it crashed in any other compile target (uninitialized memory)

I've fought through some dark moments between when I started on At the Gates and today, and barely made it. It's a tough story to tell, but one I'm proud of now that the finish line is in sight. Thank you to everyone for all your support over the years. jonshaferondesign.com/2019/01/09/how…

Created a plug-in for Unity that makes it look you're using Unreal by adding a "lighting has to be rebuilt" text in the corner. The plug-in is open source, free to use and will fool any gamer. github.com/KenneyNL/Unrea… #gamedev #indiedev (i'm deeply sorry <3 both)

Sigh... I think I’m turning off twitter until this rumor dies down. I’ve got people tagging me in all sorts of garbage spouting nonsense. Don’t at me in your dumb trademark search screenshots, or MS/Nintendo arguments, or what you heard/the real truth/etc about Scalebound.

This is just what #gamedev producers do, honestly.

Kings Canyon was designed around "zones", which are large areas that feel like big, outdoor rooms. Players can peak into the rooms from the chokepoints (usually on high vantage points) and decide if they want to enter based on the activity they see.

I thought about creating a blog about Level Design.... so I created a blog about Level Design! It's a quick test to see if it's something I'm interested in doing, and if anyone out there might be... bonusstageld.wixsite.com/mysite/post/we…

Mobile games are not inherently bad, or made without a passionate dev team, or flooded with ads or pop-ups, or cheap.

As Tom says... We should value rest as much as we value work. Frequently, resting gets more accomplished than trying to "power through". But it's easy to forget!
