𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐩𝐮𝐥𝐥 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐠𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐝𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐥 The talk by Konstantine Paradias. Find out how to add narrative into a nearly finished game that's stuck at a critical point in development quickly, cheaply, and effectively without adding to the development scope, and what steps can be taken to prevent this in the next project. For reference, the speaker will be using the game Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn and how they and the dev team of A44 Games managed to create and implement its story in record time before release.

We’ll see you soon at the International Congress Center (ICC) in Katowice! The Katowice ICC and the green space surrounding it give us something we were missing in the fall: a place to go outside. Lectures, the expo, and business meetings are conveniently all under one roof, but when your brain starts to steam from all the technical details, you can step outside to recharge in the fresh air. The warm weather, sunshine, and green terraces around Spodek create a natural chill zone here. Networking moves outdoors, conversations about game development take place over iced coffee on the grass, and the entire conference takes on a relaxed, international, even festival-like vibe. This year, you’ll have simply brilliant conditions to combine intense business with a summer reset. ☀️🍻 #gamedev #indiedev #gic #gicsprint #gic26 #gameindustryconference
