This talk explores why External Development (ExDev) can make sense for a smaller or mid-size studio, what strategic advantages it can give you, and how to best prepare to engage with the partners you choose to trust with your game.

From the desire to move away from hire-and-fire to the benefit of tapping into skills and/or capacity that you may not have access to, outsourcing (done right) is a way to scale your production sustainably, smoothly manage work overflows, and bring specialised talent onto your project. But as with many things – what you get out of it is a direct measure of how much you put in.
