Quest Lecture #45 Sreyeesh Garimella - Playtesting

Great playtests don't just reveal problems: they show you what to build next. This Quest Lecture features Sreyeesh Garimella - a game development coach and technical consultant at Toucan Studios OÜ on “Feedback from playtesting.” Playtesting is one of the most valuable tools in game development, but collecting feedback is only half the battle. Learn how to interpret player feedback, identify what really matters, and use those insights to improve your game and production process. Drawing from his experience in AAA games, animated films and production workflows, Sreyeesh shares practical lessons on turning playtest results into better design decisions. Quest Lectures are a series of free industry talks designed to help game developers navigate their game development journey. Each lecture is a new quest, covering the skills, challenges, and opportunities you'll encounter while building games, studios, and careers. What is GameCity Kajaani?
