| 270s | speed of game teams do you think we get |
| 272s | some time with the clash royale dev team |
| 274s | and just have a chat with them you know |
| 275s | what |
| 277s | i'm pretty sure we can alright let's go |
| 279s | let's do it |
| 284s | after you thank you |
| 288s | hey |
| 289s | welcome to the clash royale game team |
| 293s | so one thing you'll notice throughout |
| 294s | supercell is our open workspaces |
| 297s | that's a key element of our culture |
| 300s | see at supercell we have minimal |
| 302s | hierarchy that means that every single |
| 304s | supercellian is given from day one the |
| 307s | trust and independence to do what they |
| 309s | do best |
| 311s | to help facilitate that |
| 313s | no one not even the ceo has their |
| 315s | private office |
| 317s | but everyone works at an open workspace |
| 320s | that's designed for their team's needs |
| 324s | now having said that |
| 325s | let's go say hi to clash royale |
| 333s | and what would you say are the most |
| 335s | important |
| 336s | like attributes or things that make a |
| 339s | good game producer |
| 341s | ah that's a good question i think it's |
| 343s | uh |
| 344s | the ability to you know be meticulous uh |
| 348s | or very organized and also to kind of be |
| 352s | able to uh facilitate uh discussions and |
| 356s | be able to uh |
| 358s | understand people and relate to people |
| 360s | and you know create good relationships |
| 362s | with the team so when you make decisions |
| 364s | as a team what is like how do you decide |
| 367s | yeah i think obviously when we design or |
| 370s | unplan what we're doing next we do this |
| 372s | for the players when we start doing |
| 375s | things then obviously everyone has their |
| 377s | own roles everyone has their own |
| 379s | responsibility |
| 380s | and then as a team we decide on what we |
| 384s | should do what makes sense |
| 386s | you probably had some kind of |
| 388s | assumptions or expectations about what |
| 391s | working |
| 392s | at supercell could be like what were |
| 394s | those |
| 396s | expectations i had which were |
| 398s | absolutely kind of met was that |
| 401s | everyone's incredibly good at what they |
| 402s | do |
| 403s | um that |
| 405s | everyone's very passionate about the |
| 406s | games that we make |
| 409s | and |
| 410s | the expectation that i had that didn't |
| 412s | turn out to be so true was that |
| 413s | everything would be completely kind of |
| 416s | nicely organized and everyone would be |
| 418s | completely confident that they knew what |
| 420s | they were |
| 422s | because yeah it's it's a very kind of |
| 425s | a very chaotic very free form and very |
| 428s | sort of independent place to work |
| 429s | what would you say makes a |
| 432s | a designer a game designer a great game |
| 434s | designer |
| 436s | curiosity is probably the most important |
| 438s | thing just |
| 440s | thinking i wonder |
| 442s | what if this |
| 443s | and then having the sort of |
| 446s | the determination to sort of follow that |
| 449s | thread and see where it goes because |
| 452s | for me like the thing that makes |
| 454s | this type of games we make |
| 456s | sustainable for the very long term |
| 459s | is surprising people |
| 461s | it's making sure that our players don't |
| 464s | always know what's coming next and that |
| 466s | when an update lands something isn't |
| 469s | just |
| 469s | exciting because they've been waiting |
| 471s | for it it's exciting because they never |
| 473s | imagined it it's a game designer working |
| 476s | in clash royale or with clash royale |
| 479s | what makes you most excited |
| 481s | oh man |
| 484s | i mean |
| 485s | i feel incredibly lucky to be working on |
| 487s | this game because it's |
| 488s | it's got |
| 490s | you know |
| 491s | years of uh |
| 493s | of strong |
| 495s | history behind it but |
| 497s | it has |
| 499s | one of the most |
| 502s | easily playable core gameplay of |
| 504s | anything i've ever worked on it's it's |
| 506s | incredibly fun to just pick up and play |
| 509s | and |
| 510s | yeah the |
| 512s | the hope that |
| 514s | i can help kind of bring that to even |
| 516s | more people and |
| 518s | uh |
| 519s | used that kind of uh |
| 522s | that |
| 522s | gift that the the people on this team |
| 525s | who came before me who've kind of |
| 527s | given me is uh yeah is really exciting |
| 531s | how would you describe |
| 532s | what makes a great team what elevates a |
| 536s | good team and makes it into a great one |
| 539s | that's a good question i think it's all |
| 541s | about respecting each other's |
| 543s | differences like it's so important for |
| 545s | the team to be able to talk about |
| 547s | anything and feel safe to express you |
| 549s | know any feedback any thoughts that they |
| 551s | have even if they disagree |
| 553s | um and we we talk about disagree and |
| 555s | commit a lot here um so i think it's |
| 558s | it's the sign of a great team is |
| 560s | actually that trust that you build |
| 562s | together by |
| 563s | through |
| 564s | sharing |
| 566s | anything that's on your mind and not |
| 568s | feeling like you would be judged or |
| 570s | punished for it and beyond that i think |
| 572s | working well together being able to |
| 574s | communicate well |
| 576s | and |
| 576s | yeah generally respect and trust |
| 579s | if you would describe the working |
| 581s | culture |
| 582s | at super slim in your team how would you |
| 586s | describe it |
| 587s | i would say |
| 588s | both at supercell and on the team |
| 590s | collaborative thoughtful |
| 592s | empowering |
| 593s | that's that's how i would describe it |
| 595s | and that's been my experience |
| 597s | let's say there's a new |
| 599s | game feature and that means that |
| 601s | utilities design something new how do |
| 603s | you |
| 604s | how do you start where do you begin can |
| 606s | you talk us about the process well of |
| 609s | course we work very |
| 611s | like um intensely with the team so we we |
| 614s | collaborate a lot so ui is also some |
| 617s | area that every everybody like the |
| 620s | coders and and also game designers also |
| 622s | work on and comment and and kind of come |
| 624s | up with concepts sometimes so |
| 626s | so it's kind of like a collaborative |
| 628s | thing |
| 629s | and also when we play test then we also |
| 631s | might get some |
| 632s | feedback and some |
| 634s | do some adjustments and |
| 636s | and and those kind of things but where i |
| 638s | start this basically discussing the |
| 640s | future what we're going to make |
| 642s | and then coming up with some kind of |
| 643s | like a first |
| 645s | draft design of how the future would |
| 648s | work and what's the loop and and |
| 650s | what player must understand |
| 652s | and then on top of that we also try to |
| 655s | think like visually what how how does it |
| 657s | how do we want it to look like |
| 659s | and |
| 660s | from that we then |
| 662s | work on the assets maybe we need some |
| 665s | some art and |
| 667s | characters or things like that or |
| 669s | and then after that we polish it and add |
| 671s | animations and things like that so |
| 673s | it's kind of like a |
| 676s | process that kind of evolves when do you |
| 678s | know that you've |
| 680s | made something successful that your |
| 682s | decisions were correct |
| 684s | when can you be proud of your when i |
| 686s | hear like um good feedback from the |
| 689s | players that's always the best like if |
| 690s | there's like a |
| 692s | players tell that this was great then |
| 693s | and like of course that's the best then |
| 695s | you know that you you've done something |
| 697s | right |
| 698s | that's a that's the main goal |
| 701s | what if you get angry feedback |
| 703s | then we go back and try to fix it and |
| 705s | make it better okay |
| 710s | you all done here we still have a lot of |
| 712s | things to show everybody okay man just |
| 714s | about done all right let's go |
| 717s | so that wraps up part one of our |
