Overview: A love letter clenched inside a punch to the gut of the video game industry, this no-holds-barred, humorous talk is a satirical look at the life cycle of modern video game development. Formatted as a sitcom in the style of "Parks and Recreation," it presents real life development tales synthesized into a singular narrative. Together, you will explore the kind of experiences we have all been through and reflect on the myriads of ways that even critically successful, passionate teams can deliver a subpar game. Bureaucracy, petty politics, unreasonable deadlines, and mental breakdowns; all in a day's work for the modern game developer.
