[BPM] Production Fireside Chat
Details
While you're puzzling over code or art, have you ever wondered what producers are thinking about? Wanted to know just how many calendar invites and emails your producers send in a day? Join Boston Post Mortem for this fireside chat where local dev Eric Peterson asks experienced producer Oleg Brodskiy the most burning questions about the invisible glue that makes and breaks projects.
About the Speakers
Eric Peterson is a local Baja Blast ™ drinker, professional software developer and hobbyist game developer. He got a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Game Design from Northeastern University and has since been making apps during the day and games at night.
Eric is enthusiastic about the indie game scene, game development, process and posting. He and a team of 7 released the game "Skorecery" onto PS4 in 2019 and since then Eric has worked on smaller solo projects such as "Focus, Francis!" and most recently "JOUNCER PX" under the alias "Baja the Frog". He also hosts a podcast with two friends called "Scope Creep Saloon" - a celebration of the game concept brainstorm.
