Three weeks remain until Pocket Gamer Connects Digital #6, which takes place between April 19th and 23rd.
Pocket Gamer Connects Digital will continue our string of successful digital events. Yet again, we will provide excellent panels, interesting talks, and fringe events, and we have improved upon the meeting system since our last go around.
We have 17 insightful tracks for attendees to take in – subjects include growth, esports, live ops, global trends, Blockchain and big screen gaming.
Every day we will look at each of the 17 tracks in turn. Today is Game Maker Insights – Case studies from the front line, covering the likes of game design, audio, character design, UX, and narrative.
Tuesday, April 20th
14:00 - The track will kick off with a session from Crazy Labs senior publishing manager Shai Sasson. His talk is titled from an indie game to hypercasual success - can any game go hyper?
14:30 - Next, a superstar session with Ubisoft Ivory Tower narrative designer Inari Bourguenolle. She will discuss narrative design and game structures.
