Notes of the Tool Design Roundtable at Devcom (Gamescom Dev) 2025 β€” Robin-Yann Storm, Product & UX Designer for Tools What topics were brought up, and what was discussed, at the Tool Design Roundtable of Devcom (Gamescom Dev) 2025?

I just published the notes of the Tool Design Roundtable at Devcom (Gamescom Dev) 2025: rystorm.com/blog/tool-design-roundtable-gamescom-dev-devcom-2025

The topics this year were varied, and overlapped in interesting ways about software architecture, user research, and big green buttons.

One of my favourite memories early in my career working on a Star Trek shooter was when our temp audio swapped out from the audio director holding all dialogue conversations with himself to Patrick Stewart and the rest of the real actors! …and I just wanted the temps back…

I'm trying to comment on this without being hyperbolic.

As a manager, insisting on deadlines that you and your ICs straight up don't believe are possible almost GUARANTEES that a) their work will be thrown out or completely redone and b) you will put them in danger of burning out.

I’m seeing a lot of outrage about this story but honestly it’s preferable to the old way of doing this which was both disrespectful of the deceased and traumatising for the puppeteer
