After an excellent event in 2021, Drop Bear Bytes were again invited to showcase Broken Roads this year as part of the Melbourne International Games Week ‘22 Steam Event.
We held two live streams - an AMA with our Australian/North American team members and a roundtable with our South African/European art team - and participated in Death n Dirt, a panel on pre-, mid- and post-apocalyptic games.
On top of this, our Narrative Director, Leanne Taylor-Giles, hosted a GCAP 2022 Narrative Design Q&A titled ‘Storytelling: Beyond Words’ earlier today, and is moderating a PAX Australia Panel titled ‘Making and Breaking Connections: The Art of Betrayal’ on Friday, October 7th.
We recorded our MIGW streams and have uploaded them to our YouTube channel, along with the ‘Death n Dirt’ panel below. Both of our streams have the talks fully timestamped if you want to skim through for a specific topic.
