IGDA LV May Meetup Work in Progress

For our May session, we’ll have two speakers, each sharing their industry insights and experience.

Greg Westphal will present "The Business of Art: The roles and expectations of Visual Artists in the games industry". A brief overview of the many types of artists in a games company, how their skills are used, when in production they are most required and techniques on how to improve collaboration with them.

Following Greg’s presentation, Grover Wimberly will present "Selatria Post-Mortem - A 13-year indie game development journey".

Grover Wimberly IV is an indie game developer, producer, and director. He currently works at Nightdive Studios, Atari, and runs his own indie studio "Whim Independent Studios" (Whim Indie for short)
"Selatria" was his first big passion indie game project, and he'll be turning his portmortem blog entries from his time developing the game into a visual story that goes through the 13 years of development (from 2011 to 2024) and how that influenced him, his studio, and developed his team and production philosophy which holds to this day.

PLEASE NOTE: While UNLV is on Summer Break, we will be meeting at: Work In Progress LV 6605 Grand Montecito Pkwy Suite 100 Las Vegas, NV 89149
