Development Story of Urtuk: The Desolation (Game Days 2021)

www.gamedays.sk

Urtuk: The Desolation is a tactical turn-based RPG from the two-member Studio Mad Sheep, composed of programmer and game designer David Kaleta and art director Lukáš Svrček. In David's lecture, you will learn more about how a small indie studio is getting started and what its creators have to go through from protoyping, through development, to the first release. The talk also includes tips for beginning developers, focusing not only on the development itself but also, for example, the community management of the game, which had thousands of players and an active community a few weeks after the release.
