What’s In A Game?

by Rosanna Nichols

In a videogame, anything and everything in the world has been made from scratch and is a wonderful collaboration between many different disciplines. In this talk, we’ll take one of our game features - a system of pipes that can flow and leak - and look in detail at what goes into making it. What code systems are required for its functionality? What art, visual effects and audio are needed? How do you combine it all into something you can place in the game? And how can you make sure you don’t have to reinvent the wheel for each different pipe element you need?

You’ll never look at a videogame in the same way again.
