In the Trenches
Jason Della Rocca
For gaming to have a healthy future, industry and academia must work together to push for new ideas and experiences. Given the commercial constraints of the industry, academia has the best chance of creating and fostering this kind of exploration. Meanwhile, industry brings to the table a vital experiential understanding of the realities of game development. Academia and industry must work together, then, if progress is to be made.
The first step for such progress is a mutual understanding of the challenges and opportunities, and basic realities on either side of the bridge. This industry focused panel will give academics a better sense of the "in the trenches" experience of game developers and the game development process.
