Being able to give and receive feedback about creative work is a critical aspect of video game production. In a perfect case scenario, effective critical feedback leads to better products and stronger team cohesion. But if the feedback is unclear or misleading, there can be ramifications.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In this 2016 GDC session, Secret Portal’s Jeff Hesser provides clear, concise and practical strategies that can be used by anyone who needs to give or receive critical feedback about art in video game production.<\/p>\n
The talk focuses on improving communication through effective critical feedback about art, and\u00a0Hesser\u00a0discusses the dangers of giving and receiving bad feedback. He\u00a0illustrates how it can result in wasted work and cause a drift in creative vision which could\u00a0lead to team morale and efficiency.\u00a0<\/p>\n
