Thank you #MDEV18 for a great conference. I truly enjoyed talking to everyone and appreciate everyone who attended my presentations. See you next year!
And it's over as quick as it started. Was such a fantastic experience with lots of talented speakers. Hoping to come back again at some point, but it's time for the long drive home and to sleep for a whole day #MDEV18

Adding to my reading list courtesy of Alyssa Finley #MDEV18
Alyssa Finley: Continuous agile improvement is difficult when working on projects with long timelines (2, 3, 7 years for long PC/console games). I wanted to try something faster. #MDEV18
Sounds like almost all health/biotech timelines!
Last at #MDEV18 "Finding Value in Failures" by Alyssa Finley. Her journey through game companies that failed & the games that were successful.
Three high level pieces of advice
- Validate your plan
- Know your mission
- Culture matters

Kat gave a great presentation today. Check out @humanheadgames. Looking forward to Rune! @play_rune #MDev18
Excited to be on a panel with some amazing individuals during #MDEV18 this week. We're talking about fostering gender diversity in games. What questions do you have for the panel? Video will be online after the conference!
Art contest at #MDEV18 was a fun reminder of diversity of the industry. A few examples (look better on the M+Dev website!)
HEVGA is at #MDEV18 today! Wisconsin has a rapidly growing games scene and higher education is a key incubator. Games programs are critical for economic, intellectual, and creative growth!
