“We are most importantly game developers and players. We will talk about how we can work towards a model where your discipline is your area of craft expertise but not the only reason you are in the room. Highlighting how we can all work together as developers to improve the player experience and how this model of working has grown out of my experience in audio and working in depth with almost every other discipline.”
