Presentation

"Borderlands: Production Consistency Through Change"

2K Games and Gearbox Software's Borderlands is set to release in October, after going through huge changes in its last year of development. This presentation will explore the relationship between change and the producer's traditional goals of consistency and predictability. It will also cover the publisher's responsibility in a developer-led medium.
