No new Kickstarter news yet, unfortunately, more as I have it.
I'm expecting exciting things on other fronts from Baldur's Gate (Kickstarter or no) and Wasteland 2 pretty soon, so looking forward to that.
Speaking at Wonder-Con about the Fallout DLC process:
Saturday March 17, 2012 3:30pm - 4:30pm @ Room 208
After Bethesda and Obsidian released Fallout: New Vegas, there came an opportunity to continue the story in the Mojave Wasteland through four narrative downloadable content packs (DLCs). What were the challenges and the rewards? Obsidian's creative director Chris Avellone discusses the design methodology and narrative constraints for the DLCs that followed the hit video game.
Speaking at PAX East in April...
Fri, April 6, discussing sex and Fallout and how to get into games in the first place:
Press XY: Transgender Issues In Gaming
Cat Theatre
Friday 3:00pm - 4:00pm
So You Want to Get into the Game Industry?
Wyvern Theatre
Friday 4:30pm - 5:30pm
And for the East Coast who couldn't make it to Wonder-Con:
DLCs: Continuing the Story
Manticore Theatre
Friday 7:30pm - 8:30pm
Downloadable content is an opportunity to continue the experience of the core game and equally important, continue the narrative. What are the challenges and the rewards? Join Obsidian's Creative Director, Chris Avellone, as he discusses the design methodology and narrative constraints for DLC creation, citing examples from Fallout: New Vegas, and other titles in the industry.
Sat, April 7, with the Nuka Break guys and Fallout:
Fallout: Nuka Break the series screening and Q&A
Cat Theatre
Saturday 9:00pm - 11:00pm
Watch the first season of the popular videogame themed web series Fallout: Nuka Break! We'll screen the original fan film, as well as all 6 episodes of the webseries! Afterwards, there will be a Q&A with the creators of the show!
Panelists include: Zack Finfrock [Co-Owner, Wayside Creations], Vincent Talenti [Co-Owner, Wayside Creations], Aaron Giles [Actor - Ben], Tybee Diskin [Actor - Scar], Kevin Brooks [Actor - Mayor Conners], Doug Jones [Executive Producer], Melanie Wagor [Producer], Evan Zissimopulos [Producer], Cameron Diskin [Assistant Director], Aaron Moorhead [Director of Photography], Chris Avellone [Fallout Game Designer]
If you come, bring questions. And beer.
If you're in the area, feel free to swing by, I'm non-toxic and occasionally friendly to others.
