[p]Every week, we’re spotlighting one of the minds behind the mayhem. You’ll get to learn about folks from both Gearbox and 2K, and how each person who touches the game both influences and is influenced by Borderlands 4. This week, we're talking with Brooke Smith, Gearbox’s Producer:[/p][p]What’s something fans might not realize about what producers contribute towards the development of a game?[/p][p]Brooke: This is tough, because producers often wear so many different hats![/p][p]There's a stereotype that producers only care about the schedule and that we exclusively live in spreadsheets. While we definitely do care about the schedule and utilize spreadsheets, we also contribute creatively! For me, working with Systems designers, that meant helping designers brainstorm ideas, joining in on playtests, and helping come up with creative solutions to any problems that came up in development.[/p][p]How do you help ensure that creative and technical teams stay aligned?[/p][p]Brooke: With a game as big as Borderlands 4, it was important for our creative and technical folks to sync on a regular basis. My goal is always to make sure developers are comfortable communicating directly with one another, even if they are in totally different disciplines. [/p][p]I'll also always encourage cross-disciplinary playtesting, even in the early stages of development. Seeing a feature or mechanic in action and experiencing it as a team helps get everyone on the same page and helps get them excited about whatever we're working on. We're also all gamers, so we can all give each other feedback and exchange ideas, even if we're not subject-matter experts.[/p][p]What inspired you to pursue production in the games industry?[/p][p]Brooke: Games were always a huge part of my life. I picked up my first controller when I was 4 years old, and continued to game throughout my childhood and teenage years. I always loved that games were a way to connect with my family and friends and wanted to be able to create that space for other people![/p][p]Like a lot of producers, I sort of stumbled into production by accident. In college, I majored in Computer Science, thinking I would become a gameplay programmer. It wasn't until I took on a producer-like role on my senior project that I discovered I much preferred working with people, over programming. My role on that project mostly included facilitating communication with students and faculty in other departments and helping set deadlines and goals for my teammates. While I didn't have any formal training in production at that point, I loved that I got to learn about how some of our partnering departments worked, and how to best help my team work with them.[/p][p][/p][p][/p]Community Creative Corner
