Learn how reducing violence in video game design can broaden your creative thinking!
In anticipation of Game Designer Troy Dunniway’s (Rainbow Six Vegas, Munch's Oddysee, Command and Conquer 3) upcoming Guide to Less Violent Game Design, we’re hosting a live panel to discuss how to make a successful video game with less or no violence.
As demand for more diversity in gaming experiences continues to grow, catering to different player preferences, less violent video games are increasing in popularity. Join our panel of video game industry experts as they discuss less violent game design (LVGD): what they are and how to make them fun!
Hosted by video game veteran Scot Bayless (Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Falcon 3.0, Crimson Skies), he and a panel of industry pros will explore the importance of critiquing the decisions you make in your games, why innovative mechanics, storytelling, and character development are essential, and how challenging your thinking can make you a better game designer.
There will also be a chance to ask questions during our Q&A.
