Symposium Faces Industry’s Pressing Issues
The upcoming London Games Festival gives more focus on game design- tackling its cultural and creative dimensions. As such, one whole day of symposium and lively debate will be dedicated for its discussion. General topics include the game design’s craft, its discipline, as well as current and future possibilities.
Dubbed as Sense of Play, the conference does hold relevant weight as key players in the industry were invited over. Patrick O’Luanaigh (nDreams, former Creative Director at Eidos/SC) discusses ways on how to improve storytelling in games. He had actually started on this topic during the past Leipzig Games Convention. O’Luanaigh shares, “WeÂ’ll be exploring what it means to be a games designer, looking at where interactive storytelling is going, and how the industry is trying new ways to create deeper levels of emotion and immersion.”
Furthermore, Charles Cecil (Revolution Software) confronts the so-called “content crisis” that is currently bothering the games development and publishing communities. Finally, projects within and beyond the broadcast realm will be handled by Rob Cooper (Interactive Drama & Entertainment, BBC).
Co-sponsor University College for the Creative Arts invites everyone to this free symposium. Sense of Play takes place at London’s Soho Theater and will run from 9.30am – 5.30pm. Interested parties need to pre-register by going to the official website which is where you’ll be when you click the link.
