Session Name:

Level Design Summit: Level and Quest Design Collaboration from 'Skyrim' to 'Starfield'

Overview:

Open world games and roleplaying games present iteration and communication challenges to design teams that are increasingly specialized. Daryl Brigner and Will Shen discuss their time collaborating on Skyrim, Fallout 4, Fallout 4: Far Harbor, Fallout 76, and Starfield. Learn how Level and Quest/Narrative Design teams can work together to create memorable experiences. We'll be discussing the power of being able to "flex" outside designated roles, how formal processes can inhibit this flexing, how to deal with department silos and territory disputes, and how to handle scaling problems as your team grows.
