    The video game industry is only now beginning to recover from a rash of studio closures and developer layoffs, and publishers are striving to find new models for creating high-quality gaming experiences with less risk, smaller staffing counts, and lower overheads. Focusing on Prototyping as a center pillar in game development addresses the needs of our changing market and helps developers overcome these challenges. This session will go into more detail on how to utilize prototyping to bring game ideas to life, get publisher funding, and take the project to shipment.
