But Thou Must: Choice in Games
Naga Theatre
Saturday, 8:30pm
Role-playing games need choice to propel the plot and motivate the player. The methods can vary from smoke and mirrors to extreme branching reactivity - what is the right balance to strike in a game? This panel dissects SEGA and Obsidian's Alpha Protocol, the issues involved with introducing choice into a real-world spy genre, and presenting the consequence to the player - along with the consequences it had for the development team.
Panelists Include: Joseph Bulock [Cinematics Designer, Obsidian Entertainment], Shon Stewart [Lead Cinematics Animator, Obsidian Entertainment], Matt MacLean [Lead Systems Designer, Obsidian Entertainment], Chris Avellone [Lead Designer, Obsidian Entertainment]
