[Register Today!]( Featured Session Highlights [photo] Production & Team Management Designing a Production Process Ryan Darcey - Designer - Camouflaj Having a solid set of production processes to drive the development of your game can be the difference between a "Good." and "Great!" final product. Most teams pour TONS of time and energy into making sure their game feels as good as it can be, but rarely do they spend a fraction of that effort improving the processes used to plan and execute their work. Through a philosophy that celebrates good design as the fundamental creative force behind good process, Ryan highlights exactly how you can use the same careful examination and iteration you direct at your game towards improving your processes.

Special attention is paid to throttling data generation and consumption in order to control the game's response. A general mechanism for controlling network throttle is derived from basic signal analysis. Finally, telemetry from the live game is presented that motivated changes to the throttle response and raised questions for additional study.
