Featured Session Highlights |  | Design Core Concepts Becoming a Jedi: Gameplay in 'Jedi: Fallen Order' Justin Perez - Senior Game Designer - Respawn A major challenge in designing Fallen Order was to create a character who looked and felt like they belonged in the Star Wars universe. A Jedi who could stand next to Luke, Rey, and Obi Wan. All for an audience with 40 years of expectations! How do you make a lightsaber feel like a lightsaber? How can you give players control over something as powerful as The Force? How do you even get Lucasfilm to approve your new Jedi ideas? Join us in a Moscone Center conference room far, far away as Senior Designer Justin Perez shares design philosophies and details the iterative process taken by the team at Respawn made throughout the development of Jedi: Fallen Order.

It is very common to use stats to breakdown enemies in hardcore games. So why don't we have a system to breakdown the blockers in match-3 puzzle games? Here at King, we have created a new set of stats for blockers that can be used as a common design language across all of our studios. The new set of stats helps designers, artists, producers, developers, and even players to better understand a blocker's behavior and helps us design them in the game. Learn More >> |

 | Audio Core Concepts 'League of Legends' Champion Jhin: From Champion Theme to Skin Music Edouard Brenneisen - Composer - EB Music LLC How do you effectively re-imagine classic music themes into new personalization content versions (skins)? Following the example of League of Legends' Jhin character, composer Edouard Brenneisen demonstrates how he takes a player favorite music piece and brings it into sci-fi/electronic music territory, as well as create a post-Romantic-string-quartet-meets-sound-design incarnation. More than merely remixing or re-arranging the music, Edouard extracts the essence of the theme and its emotional resonance and projects it into the alternate fantasies of the League universe. With strategies on defining the music identity of a champion and preserving it through new iterations, to assessing the right flavor and matching musical options for a particular skin line, the session showcases numerous supporting audio and video examples.
