Summary
During my 60 minute lecture at GDC, I am making the case for deploying developer-facing telemetry sensors / data probes during all phases of the project - not just to end-users after the game has shipped.
With examples from our internal telemetry system, I demonstrate the potential for development telemetry to help improve production efficiency in all parts of the project.
Additionally, using the example of BioWare's issue tracking interface, I am showing how to leverage real time telemetry from game clients and tools to improve a vital part of the production pipeline - and how those improvements translated into a measurable quality increase for our Dragon Age: Origins.
