Under the banner of the LSBU and in association with the International Games Developers Association London and The Writer’s Guild of Great Britain, I’ll be joining a bunch of industry veterans to talk about this year’s theme of combining narrative with gameplay; here’s the event blurb…
Playing the Story – how to marry gameplay with narrative without divorcing the player.
With narrative-driven and narrative-heavy games getting 9/10 and 10/10 reviews, has the era of story in games arrived, or is plot still ‘gameplay’s bitch’?
Join Rhianna (Tomb Raider) Pratchett, James (Deus Ex) Swallow, Andrew (Fable: Legends) Walsh, Ed (Brink) Stern and Tom (Subnautica) Jubert for a panel on the tricks, traps and travails of making stories work in games. After the event we’ll be heading over to The Albert Arms pub for further chat and networking.
The panel will take place at the Keyworth Centre, London South Bank University on Wednesday, December 9th from 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM. Tickets are free but limited in number; to register for one, click Here.
