Silence Is Not Golden: Lessons from the Trenches of Audio Co-Development

This session will cover the frequently overlooked complexities of audio co-development and how failing to plan for external audio teams introduces severe risk to game budgets, schedules, and quality.

Featuring a panel of industry veterans, attendees should expect candid, real-world examples from past projects to illustrate the domino effect of under-resourcing audio co-dev—from last-minute crunch to ballooning budgets.

Through trial, error, and hard-won lessons, the panel will detail best practices for team integration, scoping, and pipeline management, showing developers and producers how to not just avoid failure but unlock game-changing success.
