Learning From Legends: A Fireside Chat with The Oliver Twins
Details
The Game Dev Group is a chilled, friendly place for anyone interested in game development to meet, learn and collaborate together.
Our speakers for the evening:
Andrew & Philip Oliver
The Oliver Twins need no introduction. They have been making games for over 40 years and are showing no signs of stopping any time soon. Being amongst the founding fathers of the UK games industry, they are legends in their own right. They hold the Guinness World Record for writing the most 8-bit games and have employed and boosted the careers of over 600 game developers. With experience making games for virtually every home computer and console ever made, the level of insight and wisdom they offer is almost unmatched anywhere in the industry. They are now cementing their legacy as making the biggest possible positive impact in the UK Games Industry by providing accessible, no-code interactive story-telling to all through the innovative RichCast technology. This one is going to be a treasure-trove of knowledge. I can't wait!
