Abstract:
How does the game industry work compared to other media industries? What is the game development process? Unlike other media industries, the deployment platforms for games are constantly evolving as are the tools used to create content for said platforms. What if the TV industry experienced an evolution like HD every five years? How do game developers sail the seas of technical change? How does the technology affect creativity? Where can I fit in if I'm coming from a related media industry? Lots of good questions, those and more answered by a panel of top game audio professionals.
