Respawn - Gathering of Game Developers 2015

Games are fiction - they are simulations of the real world. Yet gamers crave authentic experiences – hence IP like 'Call of Duty' hire military experts. So is this approach just PR or can turning to the real world really give your games design something extra? We're been rebooting a Games Workshop IP and as part of the process we got a games writer and a group of scientists together with our developers, locked them up and didn't let them out until they had produced amazing ideas! 

Audience addressed: 
This is for designers, producers, games writers and artists - anyone seeking to give thier development an edge and something special. 

Takeaway: 
How you can find experts and other people from the real world and work with them to make your game better. it does not have to cost much and the time spent on it is well worth it!
