Sustainable Game Development from a Game Producer's Perspective
summary
Six concrete principles (trust, vision, motivation, structure, coordination, adapt) come from an MSc thesis applied for five years across a studio that shipped I Robots (2020) and Rebot (Oct). The talk gives 12 actions: feedback types (coaching, evaluation, appreciation), three feedback triggers, bottlenecks and seven wastes, cadences (monthly cycles, two‑week release train) and tool recommendations (Trello for <5, Linear/Jira, Miro for whiteboarding). Practical, tested processes aim to reduce heroics and recurring people problems.
