like us to cover!


Are you ready to master the power of prioritization in game
development? Join me, your host Christopher Mifsud, for a deep
conversation about the often misunderstood process of scope
reduction. We'll unravel the potential hazards of overscoping,
from skyrocketing budgets and postponed launches to compromising
the quality of your game and overworking your team. Exploring the
wisdom of 'less is more', we'll look at how embracing this
philosophy can lead to more streamlined, impactful games.

I'll share practical strategies for efficient scope reduction,
such as honing in on core game mechanics, adopting modular
development, and the importance of continuous play testing. We'll
tackle the emotional aspect of cutting cherished ideas and talk
about keeping the end goal in sight. We'll even discuss the role
of tools and tech in managing scope and the crucial task of
effectively communicating scope reduction to stakeholders.
Whether you're a seasoned veteran or fresh to game development,
this episode is teeming with insights that can help you make
tough calls without sacrificing your game's primary vision. Let's
make hard decisions a little less hard, shall we?
