Level Up; Game Design is Business Design with Francis Jones
Details
This month's Level Up will be broken up into two sections; a talk by Francis Jones and an optional playtesting session. This event will be hosted at AUT with the talk in WG126 and playtesting in the open space outside of that room.
Game Design is Business Design: Learning from Warrior Chef
A brutally honest breakdown of why our studio cancelled our game Warrior Chef, diving into how game design decisions shape business strategy and market viability. Francis will cover some fundamental knowledge they've gained over their career, useful for any game designers and current or future indie developers.
Progress Bar
Bring down your WIP, demos, or your released titles to show off and receive some feedback. Beyond playing games (or getting feedback on your own) Progress Bar is a great platform for networking, knowledge sharing, celebrating, and socializing!
NOTE: You are required to bring in your own hardware (laptops, controllers, headphones, etc). If you have specific hardware or space requirements please get in touch to make sure we can accommodate those.
