20 Years of Develop: @dnost, @dlalastudios In 2012, AJ arrived at his first Develop without much of a network, just the hope of meeting the right people. You never really know which conversation is going to matter. For AJ it was one at the Microsoft stand with Andrew Webber, which turned into an agreement for Dlala to build their game Janksy specifically as a Windows 8 launch title! Careers and studios are built on moments like that, and Develop has been creating them for 20 years :tada: Where did your first Develop take you? Share your story as we mark 20 years. #DevelopBrighton #DevelopConf

Where you launch matters more than ever. Player behaviour is shifting, competition is intensifying, and developers have more choices than ever before. In this talk, Guy Richards will cover how XBOX and developers can work together to help games break through #developconf
