How we slashed the time and still develop awesome games - Google Tech Talk Meetup, Nov 26th 2015 HD

Google loves gaming, and, maybe not as a big surprise, King does too! We talked about how we can help developers build great games, and one thing we wanted to do is a joint event to encourage that, and a great topic was the Defold engine. King has recently released a public beta version of its game engine Defold. At this meet-up you will meet the creators of the engine and hear them talk about the problems they set out to solve and how King has used the engine in production. About the speakers Ragnar Svensson: Ragnar has worked as a game developer for many years, starting out with player mechanics for AAA console games and transitioning into game engine programming, primarily for the mobile and web platforms. He co-founded the game engine Defold and currently works as lead engine developer Mikael Säker: Mikael is a game designer and writer that is specialized in narrative and gameplay integration. He has background from both technology and arts and experience from leading positions at several game studios. He is the technical writer in Defold team. Andreas Jirenius: Andreas is Technical Lead for King’s IP studio. Among his responsibilities at King are deciding on tech choices, and educating teams on code design and quality standards. He is one of the driving forces behind Blossom Blast Saga, the first game released on Defold by King. He has won multiple awards.
