Player expectations are changing, the kind of things that are cutting edge today will be expected as standard tomorrow.This talk will give a clear picture of the current state of the industry with examples of current efforts and a clear set of good practice guidelines. It will demonstrate not just how to keep pace with current advances, but how to surpass them and give a great experience to as many players as possible. |
