|
 Patrice Desilets Creative Director, Ubisoft Montreal |
 Jade Raymond Producer, Ubisoft Montreal |
This presentation explores the challenges involved in redefining gameplay for next-gen consoles from two different perspectives. Patrice Desilets discusses why as Creative Director he chose to focus on interactivity to create a new kind of game experience, while Jade Raymond gives examples of the production methods used and challenges faced in making the vision a reality.
The following points will be examined in an order that follows Patrice's creative process- Step 1: defining the Player Fantasy, Step 2: Selecting the setting, Step 3: Thinking about the three-Cs and Step 4: Making sure that the consequences of short and long term player actions are fun and satisfying.
As Patrice walks through the design decisions made at each step along the way, Jade will show visual examples of the production processes, tools and technical innovations that are enabling the Assassin's Creed team to (mostly) deliver on the promise.
This presentation should help any game designer that is trying to define what next-gen is supposed to be and any producer or developer trying to make that vision a reality without blowing development risks through the roof.
Notes: This is an English lecture. Photos and videos of the presentation are strictly prohibited.
Prize Raffle
In addition to the evening's presentation, there will be an IGDA members' raffle for game development books from Charles River Media, a copy of SOFTIMAGE|XSI Foundation, t-shirts, games and other goodies.

I apologize Jade, my friend won't leave me alone because two days ago I told him, "I wish I could meet a beautiful women who was interested in video games as much as I was". Your probably married or have a boyfriend but you like alot of T.V,music,movies,and games that I am also interested in. You ever feel like talking about any of those subjects write me back.I know your busy but so am I. I have 2 jobs, a High School basketball coach and security guard at Ceasars Palace.
