#PortfolioProjectStandup Last week: I shipped v2.3.0 of my #DiscordBot HorizonsBot! It improved voice channel handling to allow for stage channels for clubs. I also got into refactoring classes in the ground-up rewrite of #ProphetsOfTheLabyrinth. This week: Planning to keep working on the rewrite of PotL and start up Wednesday project dev streams again (https://lnkd.in/gTgT_qab at noon Pacific). #gamedev #softwareengineering

I’ve received a few messages asking about Caviar, so thought I’d share some background. For over twenty-five years I've been fortunate to play a small role in the games industry, contributing to games, speaking at conferences, and building partnerships (and friendships) around the world. Many of these have been forged through overseeing external development relationships, a key piece of AAA development that accounts for ~40% of game budgets. As enjoyable as this has been, the complexity of finding the right external partners can be a very real problem. AAA games often require hundreds, potentially thousands of external resources to deliver, but the issue lies in the multitude of factors that need to be considered. Budget and availability are just the starting points; developers need partners who understand their game's genre, are experienced with specific hardware requirements, and ideally the same tools and game engine. Then there is scalability, style and vision compatibility, not to mention potential language or timezone barriers, security requirements, etc. etc; the list goes on. This multi-faceted decision-making process is often overwhelming, and the existing methods have been totally inadequate to address these complexities in, quite literally, a world of opportunity. And it’s not solely about finding the right partner. Where time is always of the essence, if it takes six weeks to find a fifty-person co-dev team, that’s three-hundred development weeks lost. Show me a game team who wouldn’t want that time back in the schedule! My aim with Caviar is to empower developers and service providers alike, to bring predictability and efficiency to an often frustrating area of game development, and hopefully expose thousands of partnership options that otherwise wouldn't wouldn’t be visible. Globally, AAA game development depends on hundreds-of-thousands of external partners supporting the industry - some working in large companies and others as independent contractors - composers, actors, technicians, translators, testers, engineers, artists, musicians, researchers, producers and designers - and they all bring different viewpoints, experience, flair, passion and backgrounds - and as an industry we could benefit from embracing more of this diversity across the board. This initiative is deeply personal to me. I've seen the struggles, felt the frustrations, and, like many others, have envisioned a better way. Game Caviar isn’t just a platform; it's a commitment to improving how we create games, and ultimately helping developers increase the odds of success. It makes sense to de-risk when embarking on any creative or financial endeavor; my personal goal is to help developers and service providers forge the most meaningful, creative partnerships possible, because wins like that are also wins for gamers - and for the industry as a whole.

HOW GAMES INSPIRE CHANGE It was a privilege to be invited as a judge for Ministry of National Development Singapore's OneService Game Changers Challenge 2024! Participants were tasked to build a game around addressing Municipal issues, like noise pollution, animal feeding and corridor cluttering. Participants had 1 1/2 days to come up with a prototype, and the effort was amazing! What was truly heartwarming to see was that it wasn't just students who were interested in this issue; we had polytechnic lecturers form teams, entire families who signed up together, professional game design and UX teams, and friend groups in general! Participating in a hackathon isn't easy. It's 1 - 2 days of nerves, intense brain-powering, and overnight creation of materials, rulebooks, concepts and playtesting. It amazes me that all these guys were willing to put themselves through this process to present their vision of an experience, and it really showed with some awesome ideas. This is the power of #gamification. Games have the power to reshape thinking, reimagine how things can be done, or facilitate meaningful and powerful conversations. It is the very reason why we created Living Theories in the first place, and I'm so glad that we are able to add a little more into the creativity, excitement and meaning of our society. Game on! #livingtheoriesadventures #gamedesign #inspiring change
