Independent Games Summit: Content-Ready Game Development
Making great games isn't enough anymore. For our games to be successful, we also need to spread the word about them. In 2025 that means creating content, especially for online stores and social media platforms.To do this, we need loads of screenshots and video!This talk discusses making changes directly to your game to ease this process. We'll rapidly load up the exact content you need to capture, and make tools to generate screenshots from within your game. We'll cover screenshot best practices (like when to show or hide UI elements) and videos too (like muting music but playing sound effects).This process should be streamlined, so that we stay in the flow of work, retaining concentration and productivity. By the end of this talk you'll be empowered to quickly generate any content you need, in any format or resolution. Let's make screenshots and video easy to capture!
