A full process talk of finding a issue, the research and development to get to a solution, and the end result. In this case it’s all about a simple thing: The translation gizmo, and how its daily use made one issue continue to crop up, so I worked to find a solution for it.

A talk about comparing the toolsets between Unity, Unreal, 3dsMax, the Skyrim Creation Kit, and Source. How do they place geometry? How does camera navigation work? How well can you search for assets, and view your lighting results? The many editors can learn a lot from each other.

A talk about how to gather feature requests, and the many different ways to prioritize them. There will never be one single surefire way of gather feedback, organizing it, and prioritizing it. What we can learn though, is the many different ways that exist, and see what fits your studio, culture, and situation.

This is the talk I gave at the Gamescom Congress 2022. It is about game development tools, the progress they have made, the barriers they have overcome, and the barriers that we can still to overcome in the future.
