C2B Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 (edited) Something Something It's Not in the Writer's Manual: A Q&A Session for New WritersChris Avellone | Creative Director, Obsidian EntertainmentVander Caballero | Creative Director, Minority MediaToiya Kristen Finley | Narrative Designer/Game Writer and Consultant, Schnoodle Media, LLCElizabeth LaPensee | Game Designer and Researcher, IndependentJill Murray | Director of Narrative Design, UbisoftJonathon Myers | CEO & Creative Director, Reactive StudiosLocation: Room 3016, West HallDate: Tuesday, March 18Time: 12:30pm-1:30pmFormat: SessionTrack: Game Narrative SummitVault Recording: VideoHow do newer writers fit into game design and narrative design teams? Are in-house jobs better than freelance work? Do film writers have advantages getting game writing work over novelists? Especially made for individuals with little experience and those seeking to break in, this session encourages participants to ask veteran writers and narrative designers questions that don't have definitive answers in manuals or on the web. Anyone who works with writers is also encouraged to attend. Whether it's finding the right job, leading writers and improving team dynamics, or establishing rates, no question about the business of game writing is off limits.TakeawayAttendees will be able to ask questions regarding their experiences in the industry. They may wish to become professional game writers or want insight into working with writers. Not all attendees ask questions, but the variety of responses and the ensuing conversations will benefit newer writers and narrative designers. The Audio of South Park: Stick of TruthJustin Bell | Audio Director, Obsidian EntertainmentLocation: Room 3006, West HallDate: Thursday, March 20Time: 5:30pm-6:30pmFormat: SessionTrack: AudioProductionVault Recording: VideoFrom a technical perspective, the practical needs of game audio differ fundamentally from linear television. What mattered most for South Park: The Stick of Truth however, wasn't where that line was drawn, but rather how well the line was blurred. This session will reveal the collaborative interaction with South Park Digital Studios as it pertained to audio, the insight gained from that interaction, and how those findings were used to overcome the unique challenges of making the sound design, music and voice over for South Park: The Stick of Truth feel like a game, and sound like the show.TakeawayAttendees will learn more about the strategies we at Obsidian used to translate the audio of an established, linear third-party IP into a unique, non-linear interactive experience.Intended AudienceThis talk is intended for sound designers, composers, designers and producers of all experience levels who currently work, or are preparing to work with a third-party IP. It's also for those who want to learn more about this topic in the event they do work on a similar project in the future. And most important Yeah that's about it.

Undecaf Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Have you started harrassing him about when the announcement might happen via twatter and other dedicated socialist media yet?

C2B Posted March 18, 2014 Author Share Posted March 18, 2014 (edited) I think you need to read your own OP. ? Do you mean this It's Not in the Writer's Manual: A Q&A Session for New Writers If so, the only thing what I was confirming was, that the tweet isn't from that panel. Which wouldn't make sense time-wise. That's why I said Forget it afterwards. Edited March 18, 2014 by C2B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humanoid Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 This thread is even worse than the other one in terms of creating false hope, because I see "Official..." and think "oh hey, finally they've made an official announcement...." 1 L I E S T R O N GL I V E W R O N G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
