Your ideas, your code, your game. JetBrains tools are here to make the journey smooth, fast and enjoyable.

Together, let's see how JetBrains Rider helps you write the code you need. With impressive engine-specific inspections, Rider will suggest best practices in Unity and Unreal Engine. AI functionality can help learn new APIs or handle boilerplate for you. Rich debugging helps you understand how your game is working, on desktop, mobile or console. And integration with serialised data bridges the gap between the editor and your code. We'll learn some tips and tricks and see what's new, including exciting new Godot support.

And we'll see how TeamCity simplifies continuous integration and keeps your development pipeline running like clockwork.

This session will show you how JetBrains helps you bring your game ideas to life, faster and smarter than ever.
