Best Practices
Adhering to coding standards in game development ensures consistency and readability across the codebase, making it easier for teams to collaborate effectively. This is vital from ideation and prototyping through to game launch and liveops.
CI/CD
In today’s fast-paced game development environment, continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) have become essential. They streamline the process of building, testing, and deploying projects, enabling teams to release software faster and with fewer errors. By integrating frequently and automating builds and tests, game developers can reduce manual work and catch issues early.
CI/CD Benefits
- Higher code quality
- Faster deployment
- Reduce production time
- Reduce costs / tech debt
