Care and Craft in Teams - Keeping People Motivated
summary
Practical steps present concrete tradeoffs: align goals so a revenue-driven roadmap can absorb an art refresh or a loading-time fix; prefer team sprints where the team owns planning and ships small, prioritized improvements instead of one-off hack days; connect with players so engineers get recognition and actionable feedback; examples include a six‑year live game, 20+ released titles, and measurable roadmaps that balance feature A with quality improvements.
