About
All games tell stories. But how does the structure of those stories impact the player experience? And how can game mechanics and narrative design reflect Jewish values?
Join industry legend Warren Spector (Deus Ex, Epic Mickey) as he breaks down how developers use story structures to shape gameplay. We'll explore "content affordances" and "structural opportunities," culminating in a discussion around two thought-provoking questions: Do you have to be Jewish to make a "Jewish game?" and Does a Jewish game actually require Jewish content?
Meet the Speaker Warren Spector is the co-founder and Chief Creative Officer of OtherSide Entertainment. With a career spanning over four decades, he has led development at legendary studios like Origin, Looking Glass, Ion Storm, and Disney. He is the mastermind behind Deus Ex, an educator who founded UT Austin's game development program, and the recipient of the GDC Lifetime Achievement Award.
