Ciro Continisio, a technical evangelist at Unity Technologies, discusses improvements in the prefab workflow methodology focusing on user-centered development through various engagement methods. Key goals include flexibility, collaboration, usability, and efficiency. The document emphasizes the importance of tools like prefab mode, nesting prefabs, and editing environments for enhancing the development process.

- 5. User-centred development Since the project was rekindled: • Surveys • Interviews • Private demos • Usability tests • Game jams • Pre-alpha builds / Alpha group
- 6. Goals and Guiding principles • Flexibility • Collaboration • WYSIWYG • Reduce cognitive load • Usability • Efficiency • Safety
- 7. Prefab Mode
- 10. Prefab Mode Overrides Nesting Prefabs Prefab Variants
- 11. Prefab Mode Overrides Nesting Prefabs Prefab Variants Prefab Models

Editor's Notes
- #6: The fact that NP are missing is not the problem, the problems are something else
- #7: Flexibility: improved reusability, refactoring Collaboration: nesting is key to break down big Prefabs into smaller ones -> no conflicts in big teams WYSIWYG: you need to be able to see everything at Edit time, not instantiate prefabs into others Cognitive load: “It has to be safe to be messy, and it has to be easy to be organised” (overrides) Usability: additional power, no need to press Apply Safety: more complex, so need to be more safer. Artists are anxious, programmers are paranoid
