<p>In this article, we take another look at 2015-2016 live sessions' format and introduce a new showcase format for 2017.</p>
<p><strong>2015 and 2016: live sessions.</strong></p>
<p>As you know, we use live sessions to show the state of our technology and create a small functional game from scratch. We have conducted four live sessions in the past year, which gave birth to the following small games:
<table>

  <th><strong>№</strong></th>
  <th><strong>Created game</strong></th>
  <th><strong>Live session date</strong></th>. . .</p>

<p>Even though live session takes only a few hours, we devote a whole month to prepare for it. Let's have a look at live session stages in detail.</p>

<li><p><strong>Draft.</strong> Game creation for the first time.</p>
<p>Purposes:</p>
<ul>
<li>test our technologies and fix major bugs;</li>
<li>discover usability issues to fix in the next development iteration;</li>
<li>list exact steps to reproduce the game later;. . .</li></ul></li>

<p>This article explains the most important technical details about development in August: UIQt module, its refactoring, a new feature based development approach, and its benefits.</p>
<p><strong>UIQt module</strong> is a collection of UI components backed by Qt. We only use it for Editor UI at the moment.</p>
<p>Here is a list of UIQt module components with their description and current code size:<table>

<p>We started Opensource Game Studio project a long time ago. We wanted to provide open source community with tools to create games. However, it was unclear what tools' purpose was. So we decided to start small: create a game first.</p>
<p>It took us 3 years to reach the first goal: we released OGS Mahjong 1.0 in 2012. Even for a hobby project (we spend about 40 hours a month) it's too long.</p>
<p>Upon the game release we got it: <strong>Tools are means to save development time</strong>.</p>
<p>We spent 4 more years to develop them. Now is the time to prove they are worth every single day spent. How? We will <strong>recreate Mahjong solitaire mode</strong> in just a few hours!. . .</p>
