Expert Talk: Building Audiences Beyond the Game

Stories no longer live in just one place.

Strange Matter Media founders Cavan Scott and George Mann examine how stories can be told across novels, comics, audio, games and screen, creating richer experiences for audiences and new opportunities for game developers. From building interconnected story worlds to managing consistency across platforms, they'll share insights from decades of experience developing stories for some of the world's biggest entertainment brands, including Star Wars, Doctor Who, Warhammer and Dark Souls.

There’ll also be opportunities for audience Q&A at the end of the session - as well as the usual socialising and networking with fellow developers, students, and games industry professionals from across the South West.

Whether you’re an aspiring developer, an indie founder, or simply curious about how successful games businesses operate behind the scenes, this promises to be a fascinating evening you won’t want to miss.

Note: this event is hosted in the DOWNSTAIRS at Toto's (in the private area beyond the main bar).
