The concept of external professionals is not new to developers. However, in the current game ecosystem, it is becoming more prevalent and more important to choose the right external professionals. This panel discussion will bring together four seasoned game industry professionals each providing different areas of expertise. But at the end of the day, all are service providers in one form or another. The panelists will discuss topics such as: (a) what they look for in a client; (b) what you should be looking for in choosing your advocates; and (c) how to work effectively with each other to help you reach your desired goals.
Delivered at the IGDA Summit @ Casual Connect Seattle, July 2012.
