‘With Sam's deep understanding of game development, particularly what it takes to make a free-to-play game successful, he has been invaluable. While his coding skills are broad and versatile, his real strength lies in systems development. Even more impressively, he excels at identifying what is needed and who in the team can deliver the best results. He is candid about risks and always communicates openly with those he trusts. This has been really valuable to me in my role. Thanks to his efforts, we have achieved a uniform tech stack and streamlined our processes by removing waste. His involvement was crucial in rolling out dependency injection, structuring our systems better, and enhancing our understanding of game performance through development telemetry. We are now in a place with our tech that we couldn’t have reached without him. Sam's passion for his work is evident in everything he does. Since joining a few years ago, he has shown remarkable growth, shifting to a collaborative mindset often starting with, "How can I help?" Had he been granted more time at Paladin, he would have had the opportunity to showcase his leadership skills on a project, lead our internal tools team, or even become our next Head of Technology. His impact has been profound, and we are much stronger thanks to his contributions. Sam, your dedication and expertise are truly appreciated. It was my pleasure working with him!’

[Blog] Ask & Answer: How Do You Collect Player Feedback? Player feedback and game development goes hand in hand. Most people create games with the intention of them being enjoyed by others. The best way to know if your game is going to be enjoyed by players is to collect player feedback. At GDC 2024, Laura Donohue highlights that conference attendees confirmed that Playtesting is a great way to gather feedback at any stage of game development. When planning a playtest, make sure you keep your objective clear, concise, and with an end goal in mind. #UXA #PlayerFeedback #PlayerTesting #GDC #Gaming Sutherland Labs https://lnkd.in/dXbnZ-6q

Mandy Chessell did a second demonstration today showing how Egeria can bi-directionally integrate with the Open Source Unity Catalog. This allows, for example, Egeria to manage a data on-boarding process to ensure that data contributors are properly certified to deliver regulated data and that data consumers don't see data from non-certified providers. This is just one small example of how Egeria can augment other systems with additional governance capabilities.
