This document discusses the importance of pre-production for game development. Pre-production is the planning phase where developers think about what needs to be done to create the game, how it will be done, who will work on it, and when elements need to be completed. extensive planning is needed because game development involves coordinating many different elements, people, and tasks. Pre-production planning includes considering the game's content, schedule, locations, equipment needs, research, and casting/crew roles. Students are asked to write an assignment explaining the purpose of pre-production, why it is important, its role in the production process, and research specific pre-production methods.

MEMSI June 2018: Design Thinking Workshop
In this 2.5 hour workshop, teams will experience all the key elements of design thinking: Empathize, Define, Ideate, Prototype and Test.
Down-Board Thinking
Down-board thinking refers to strategic planning that looks several steps ahead to consider possible future scenarios and environmental responses. It is like how a chess grandmaster considers both their own moves and their opponent's possible responses several turns in advance. Effective strategic planning and management requires looking beyond immediate decisions to envision long-term consequences by anticipating scenarios and how other factors may react. This "down-board thinking" allows organizations to help create their desired future rather than just reacting to events.

Ant Boobier discusses creating a product playbook at Bank of New Zealand to standardize their agile practices and development processes. They tried dual track development with two teams working separately but it led to clashes. They shifted to having one empirical track with the whole team having ownership. They created a playbook test to make it self-explanatory, endorsed by key areas, and enjoyable to read. It brings together best practices in an easy to understand framework that the team adopted and adapted. The playbook treats products like pets to question thinking and say no to features tangential to the main product.
Designing for Live Games or How to be a Complete Game Designer
This document discusses the skills needed to design and run live games. It outlines the author's experience designing and running games at Zynga India and Tiny Mogul Games. It also discusses three main design challenges for live games: dealing with unexpected users and behaviors, and realizing that live games are constantly evolving. It then lists six key skills needed for running games successfully: using data analysis, understanding players, experimenting, balancing game economies, creating design playbooks, and being pragmatic.
Life/Programming lessons from Starcraft
Starcraft is a real-time strategy game developed by Blizzard Entertainment that sold over 11 million copies worldwide and became a professional sport in South Korea and Europe. Playing Starcraft well requires strong resource management, scouting of opponents' strategies, micromanaging individual units effectively during battles, and macromanaging broader base-building and tech decisions. Good Starcraft players focus on continuous learning by studying their own replay data to identify mistakes and areas for improvement between matches.
Pre Production lesson 2
We cut down footage from production to create an opening sequence between 1.45 to 2 minutes for our film. During the lesson, we began shortening shots and removing some footage but did not fully complete cutting down the material. We also started editing by adding darkening effects to shots of a character in a basement to make the setting appear more like a basement since we did not film there.
Game Designer's Journey
Andrii Dotsenko shares his experience as a game designer at Ubisoft Kiev. He worked on games like Far Cry 4. Game design involves imagining rules and mechanics to create fun experiences for players. It takes time and failed prototypes to develop this skill. Designers must learn to communicate ideas clearly and listen to feedback from teammates with different perspectives. While ideas are important, the real work is in interactive prototyping to prove a concept.

Do you want to get your SharePoint project right the first time? It has been our experience that there is no way for a project to succeed if the stakeholders and solution designers are not in alignment, no matter how good the solution. If your technical team and business stakeholders are not on the same page then the project will fail. The problem is that getting the business stakeholders to tell you their vision and understand what success looks like to them is very difficult.
Over the past decade of delivering successful SharePoint projects, we have discovered methods that work very well at eliciting the stakeholders' desires and then ensuring that we have clarified our own understanding with them. These methods involve the use of visual and tactile tools that open the lines of communication and rapidly expose misunderstandings.
We will demonstrate tools such as mind mapping, card sorting, gamestorming, tree-testing and other methods, and we will have you participate in exercises that will give you the confidence to apply these tools in your own practice. Many of these methods are very easy to learn and apply, and this tutorial will give you the confidence to do so.
The application of these visual tools has directly influenced the success of the many projects we've worked on over the years. We won't be giving you theory, but rather stories and examples from our real-life experience. We hope you'll join us for a practical, useful, fun and enlightening experience.Tips & Tricks for Being a Successful Tech Lead
In this talk, I present four key areas to consider when tech leading a software project: Project, People, Programming and Process.
