Скачать или смотреть [PBP18] Game Dev Influenced By Personal History And Community – Marigold Bartlett & Jason Bakker

Setting a game in a real place, particularly one that you have a personal connection to, can instill meaning in your game far beneath the surface. The benefits of placing your narrative in a real space and at a specific time are not immediately obvious, but cover a wide range - from giving you a treasure trove of fascinating material to draw from, to having your work contribute to a particular cultural tradition. In this talk, developers making Wayward Strand, an interactive story set in rural ‘70s Australia, will discuss their motives in choosing their setting, the in-depth research processes they’ve followed, and the benefits they’ve gained.

This talk was given at Play by Play 2018 Conference, part of NZ's international games week. Find out more here: http://www.playbyplay.co.nz
