Conference Day 2

9:30 AM PANEL DISCUSSION: Who Owns the Outcome? Accountability When Things Don’t Go as Planned

In game production, challenges are inevitable. Ambitious features, new mechanics, or evolving storylines can push projects beyond their original plans, leading to missed deadlines, budget overruns, and team burnout.

But who takes ownership when milestones slip, quality drops, budgets start to drift, or gates get delayed? This session dives into leadership accountability in practice, exploring how these situations are escalated, managed, and resolved.

Panellists will share proven approaches for:

Escalation Protocols: How issues are raised and routed to ensure visibility without finger-pointing.
Decision Ownership: Clarifying who is responsible when key milestones or deliverables are at risk.
Preventive Measures: How establishing clear accountability upfront can reduce chaos when the unexpected occurs.

11:15 AM INTERACTIVE SESSION: 3 LEAN TACTICS FOR DRIVING DOWN DEVELOPMENT COSTS

A producer's ultimate trifecta is delivering a high-quality game, on time, and on budget. However, between scope creep, tech debt, and shifting market realities, it is incredibly easy for production costs to spiral out of control. Keeping a project financially viable requires proactive strategy, not just reactive firefighting.

Join Andrej Vigdorovych for an interactive session focused on fiscal efficiency without sacrificing creative vision. Andrej will kick off the discussion by

breaking down 3 tested tips for driving down development costs. Then, the floor opens to you.

Key Tips Shared:

• Smart Scope Trimming: How to identify and cut "bloat" features early before they consume valuable resources.

• Optimising the Pipeline: Leveraging automation tools to reduce costly manual processes

• Preventing Tech and Design Debt: Implementing rigid milestone gates to catch compounding errors before they require expensive late-stage

• Note to Attendees: This is a highly interactive session! Bring at least one cost-saving tip or a specific budgeting challenge you are currently facing to

share with the room
