Sending a game to critics is like sending your kids off to school. You did your best, made the most of tough decisions, compromised and worked long hours. Your job is done. What happens next? No matter how much money or time is thrown at video game development, playing the game is where the rubber meets the road. It is where the writers will form their opinions and from where they will share them. This session will give you an insider's view into how videogame writers play (and review) your games. What's the difference between playing for fun and playing for work? What do we look for? How do we prepare? What can you do, as a developer, to set up your game for success? Delivered at the IGDA Summit @ Casual Connect Seattle, July 2012.
