Designing a historical open world RPG
"Dan Vávra is one of the most recognizable Czech game developers. His career started at Illusion Softworks and he first worked on Hidden and Dangerous as a 2D artist and then became a director and writer for the Mafia series. Since 2011, Dan has been the creative director at Warhorse Studios, which just released a realistic medieval open-world RPG, Kingdom Come: Deliverance – one of the most successful crowdfunded games thus far. The game sold one million units in the first week."
Speech description:
"Dan will speak about our approach to storytelling in the open-world, how the historical accuracy and realism affected our design choices, and about the historical context of our game – how accurate we really are."
