THE TALK PART (PRESENTATIONS)
Jenni Wergin: Game vs. Product — Why your game should become a product and why that's not as boring as you think
We all love our darlings, and we know it's damn hard to kill them. In this talk I will take you on a Product Journey and show you why it's beneficial that your game becomes a product — the process is much more creative and cheaper than you think.
Jenni is the Creative Producer at Headup, advocating for player experience and game vision to help teams create better products. Previously she worked as a Product Manager for Thunderful Publishing and was involved in releasing award-winning titles such as Viewfinder, LEGO Bricktales, and Planet of Lana.
After the talk will be a section dedicated to short announcements from the community, get in touch to reserve a spot: info@berlingamescene.com — same goes if your company is hiring or wants to announce something and you'd like to get a sponsored slot!
