Description

Game Design by Accidents
SPEAKER/S: Steph Thirion (Game Designer)
DAY / TIME / LOCATION: Monday 11:50-12:15 Room 135, North Hall
TRACK / FORMAT: Independent Games Summit / Lecture
DESCRIPTION: Programming is a sensitive creation tool. Changing one single line of code could just as easily improve a full landscape just a notch, radically transform it, or expose something amazing that the creator couldnt have thought of. This talk is about how for Steph Thirion - originally a graphic designer - coding has gradually become a fundamental instrument in every stage of video game creation, and how code is not just a tool to materialize an idea, but can also be the thing that invents the idea itself.
TAKEAWAY: Attendees will learn how code is an amazing tool for brainstorming, and the importance of having their eyes open to unexpected discoveries and possibly branch out into new unexpected paths during development. They will learn about the creative characteristics of code, including idea sketching. They will also learn about specific examples of development from TETRIS, BRAID, ELISS and FARAWAY.
