Date: Friday 1st September
Time:3:55pm
Story drives player retention, and great stories are entirely about great characters. Leveraging my background as a novelist, comedian, actor, vocal performance director and a game writer with an 11-year career across mobile and AAA I intend to ensure that every attendee leaves with an adjusted appreciation of the importance of story in games, for practical and emotional reasons, as well as a mental toolkit that will allow them to begin creating believable and affecting characters of their own. The aim is for each attendee to leave inspired and empowered to create characters who players love to spend time with – and who will be remembered long after the final level.
