Coding Medieval Worlds 3: Landscapes and Backgrounds
Call For Participants
A workshop for historians & game developers: 25-26 Feb, 2023
Historical and fantasy worlds with medieval inspirations are as much defined by what lies behind the action as what takes centre stage. People’s relationship to and reliance upon their world, its strategic and tactical importance, and who occupies it beyond the core focus: these elements are central to historical narrative and gameplay alike. How we render these worlds, too, is crucial. Soundscapes and visuals are key to immersive, interactive tales and to providing cues and grounding to game experiences. In this workshop we’ll examine these elements and more from developers’ and historians’ perspectives, and discuss tackling these shared challenges!
When: 25th Feb & 26th Feb 2022, 1:30pm — 8pm Central European Time
Where: Wherever you can connect to a video call!
