The 2018\u00a0Game Developers Conference<\/a>\u00a0will be here before you know it! To give you a taste of what’s in store for you at the San Francisco event next March, organizers are proud to announce a talk from Hinterland Games founder Raphael van Lierop.<\/p>\n

In his GDC 2018 talk “A Long Dark Road: Blending Player and Authored Story in a Sandbox Survival Game”,\u00a0which spans the Design<\/a> and Production & Team Management<\/a> tracks of talks, van Lierop will examine how it’s\u00a0possible to successfully marry a linear, authored narrative experience to an open-world sandbox.<\/p>\n

Using anecdotes and insights gained through the ongoing development of Hinterland’s flagship game The Long Dark,\u00a0<\/em>van Lierop will share\u00a0hard-won lessons about community-informed development, the principles that define a successful sandbox gameplay experience, and the challenges of wrapping a story mode around the core of a popular survival sandbox, with a large vocal community of players who might just prefer you left it alone!<\/p>\n

Plus, we have\u00a0lots more GDC 2018 announcements to make in the coming months. For more information about\u00a0GDC 2018\u00a0visit the show’s official website<\/a>, and\u00a0subscribe to regular updates via Facebook<\/a>, Twitter<\/a>, or RSS<\/a>.<\/p>\n
