Building Games Driven by Artists & Small Teams

Cliff — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 18:06:45 +0000

3DVIA V.P of Electronic Entertainment, Virgile Delporte demonstrates why industry professionals must recognize that artists (including game designers) could become THE most important piece of game development. After all, games are a form of art.

Originally presented on February 4th, we explore the tools available for empowering artists to take the lead on numerous projects, especially those for the Wii or new IP creations. Virgile will also examine game development team size to understand how smaller teams can achieve more interesting results than their larger counterparts.

This webinar was #5 in the Virtools Webinar series, however, this presentation is not 3DVIA Virtools specific, and discusses trends in the Electronic Entertainment industry.
