Overview:

In this session, we will discuss the challenges of developing a truly scalable game engine - current gen console to embedded devices - with our panel of industry veterans.

How does the wide range of device capabilities affect art pipelines? Do the reduced-overhead APIs, such as Apple's Metal, enable features that would not be possible with traditional APIs? Is the cost of supporting an increasing number of graphics APIs becoming a development bottleneck? Is it feasible for small studios to take on this challenge, or is it only cost effective for large-scale game and middleware development?
