Agenda

Every game developer knows that playtesting is important. Not everyone knows how to do it right. Discover which mistakes you might be making in this talk by Joris Roelofs, lead technical game designer with a passion for data.

The 7 Deadly Sins of Playtesting (That Could Kill Your Game)

Managing and balancing technical debt is key to any project in tech, including games. In this talk, ex-Google engineer turned game developer Abe Wits covers what tech debt is, why it happens, and how to handle it without hurting progress on your game.

Managing Technical Debt

This one is for the folks who have their own game or company to bring/discuss. We apply the lessons learned by practicing how to playtest your own game and discussing how to manage technical debt in your project.
