No plan survives development. Join the cinematic director of Larian Studios, Jason Latino, for an account of how the realities of making a game at the scale and reactivity of Baldur's Gate 3 required constant evolution and reexamination of first principles. Jason will go over the initial vision and track the specific moments that forced changes on tools, team and approach--leading up to the final challenge--bringing in the release date by a month.
Attendees should walk away with a more flexible sense of what a departmental vision can be and how to verify whether it's working on a project with an unprecedented scope.
This lecture is intended for anyone interested in the formation of a departmental vision. Leads who have tackled this before may walk away with a fresh perspective. Or an artist looking to move up the ranks can observe some of the challenges facing leadership mid-development.
