In order to drive forward, the pay-to-play amusement sector must embrace new technologies and innovation, but shouldn’t forget its past – that’s according to Steven Tan, general manager of Universal Space.
Tan, believes that while it is key that the industry brings in new faces, companies require a grounding in the traditions and rules of the past.
“New blood should enter into and help develop the industry, this is how it moves forward,” he told InterGame. “Developers that are keen to make the maximum use of the latest innovations will take their skills to the edge to push that little bit further.
“But it is also important for the new generation to learn from their predecessors, to learn their trade fully and to learn about the holistic importance of machine design; a machine must work as a whole, not with one part excelling and the rest being mediocre, this is what makes a machine sustainable and gives it total credibility.”
