How do you strike a balance between keeping the artist happy and motivated while keeping the studio happy and cost efficient?

This episode introduces the September XDS 2023 presentation “Unlocking the Power of External Partnerships Collaboration,” delivered by industry pros Erik Pettersson, Lead Outsource Artist, EA DICE, and Kim Aava, now Art Director with Toca Boca.

Kim and Erik dive into the various stages and processes of external partnerships from initial trials to advanced operations. They discuss their hybrid approach at EA DICE, which combines co-dev with traditional outsourcing. They share valuable insights into strategies and best practices for setting and maintaining art quality expectations, effective communication techniques, and how to balance ownership between internal and external teams.
