SLICE 2025: External Development 101

External development isn't just growing-it's quietly becoming the default operating model for studios staying lean while scaling ambitious and complex projects. This isn't simply a cost-saving measure. It's about making game development more sustainable for game teams, moving away from the old AAA model of hiring large teams only to lay people off later - a practice that's clearly not working and is unacceptable. When done right, external development doesn't just solve capacity problems - it can make your game better through the diverse expertise and fresh perspectives that come from embracing external partnerships. It's an incredible tool for game studios, but most teams are still figuring out the systems and relationships that make this work sustainably. This panel gives an overview of the key things to think about if you're new to external development: how to approach it strategically, what you need to figure out internally first, how to find the right partners, and how to collaborate effectively. We'll explore why the most successful external relationships require partnerships based on collaborative problem-solving.
