Opening keynote and presentation

Tony Reed, Event organiser

Design Aikido focuses heavily on the changing needs of today's gamer and looks at the importance of story in games in the future.

Chris was the Lead Designer on Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords, moved on to a Senior Design role on Neverwinter Nights 2 and Mask of the Betrayer, worked briefly as the Creative Lead of the Aliens RPG, and then went back to lead design on Alpha Protocol, Obsidian's espionage RPG.

  • Funny how a man who hates Star Wars (or its core, The Force) has made the best and deepest entry in the entire franchise.

  • Yeah, exactly. KOTOR 2, even if unfinished, is the best thing that happened in SW universe.Made by a man who hated it.I am gonna have to replay it soon.

  • GAAH He zips through the part that I REALLY WANT TO HEAR because he was out of time.

    I really wanted to see those character relationship graphs, the simple, complex, and insane conversation flows, the conversation design docs, storyboarding and script exports. How do they track all of these relationships and this interaction? I got through 11 videos only to get almost no payoff.

  • Looks like Chris doesnt have much fun giving presentations, still an interesting presentation with some insightfull information. Avellone, keep your hatred fueled...

  • MCA I want to have your babies

  • For a man who hates cliches, the two conversations are incredibly so.

  • Very, very interesting. "Must-see" for anyone who is interested in "behind-the-scene" things. Tnx for uploading.

  • excelent!

    I hope that that powerpoint presentation gets to the interwebs someday soon.

  • Thanks for uploading.
