Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for an extensive content build pipeline. The exemplary content build pipeline is based on a code build process using a standard XIF file format containing reference to game content produced using various game content editors and tools. This standardized file format is capable of containing the information required by the content build as metadata, thus enabling a standard content build pipeline. This is opposed to being based on a number of game-specific formats and thus requiring the use of exporters. However, game engine developers can then optimize the XIF files to their particular game engine format.
