GamesBeat 2015 - Are game developers satisfied? PART FOUR
0Speaker: Kate Edwards (IGDA)
Moderator: Kat Bailey (US Gamer)
The game industry is a collective of highly creative individuals who strive to express their visions and perfect their craft. But as an "industry", game development shares familiar challenges and concerns with any other major industry - creative or otherwise. A cornerstone of good business is ensuring the overall happiness and satisfaction of employees, considering benefits that are both intangible (love of work, joy of creation, etc.) and tangible (compensation, holiday time, etc.). At the IGDA Leadership Summit in Sept. 2015, the IGDA released the results of its 2015 Developer Satisfaction Survey, an annual research tool aimed to gauge the perception of these factors. As the IGDA's Executive Director, Kate will provide a current glimpse into how developers perceive their work and their broader industry, and how that impacts the future of our craft. -- Watch live at http://www.twitch.tv/gamesbeat
