  4. What do we believe? + softwarefactories digital gamesdevelopment BETTER TOGETHER!

  5. script languages domainknowledge /experts game engines (lotsof) tools

  6. still...

  7. repetitive complex manual

  8. Can we streamline the process with more abstraction and automation? Especially for the thousands of apprentices out there?

  9. The proposal (what) => + game factoriesthrough VSX & XNA

  10. Visual Domain-Specific Languages factory generated partial classes developer custom code code generators The proposal (how): easy as 1-2-3 1. Domainscoping (arcade, RPG, fighting, racing, ...) 2. Domainanalysis(featuremodeling, commonalities, variabilities, ...) 3. Factoryassets extends / implements uses game engines

  11. Asset example: ScreenTransitionLanguage

  12. More assets + GAT recipes!

  13. Ongoing: languages for… Entitystatemachine Heads-up display(HUD) collisiondetection

  14. Creating full games in a couple of hours… Dozensof classes andthousandsof SLOCgenerated per game
