Peer Feedback Processes in the Game Industry
summary
Interviews at two studios (one ~50‑person mobile studio, 10 interviews; one ~15‑person serious‑games studio, 2 interviews) produce a concrete six‑stage peer feedback cycle—planning, preparing to receive, presenting artifacts, exchanging, processing, acting—and practical suggestions like digital feedback portfolios and guiding questions. Key findings: quality of presentation changes feedback, manager‑initiated reviews feel obligatory, processing stage is almost exclusively informal, and a prototype tool (Peer Presents) already supports presentation‑based crits.
