Love it or hate it, you’d have a hard time arguing\u00a0Access Games’ open-world survival horror\u00a0game\u00a0Deadly Premonition\u00a0<\/em>hasn’t inspired a lot of strong feelings in the years since its 2010 debut.<\/p>\n

Much of that is due to the influence of the game’s director, Hidetaka “Swery” Suehiro, who’s since left Access and gone on to help create similarly impactful games like\u00a0D4: Dark Dreams Don’t Die\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0The Missing: J.J. Macfield and the Island of Memories.<\/em><\/p>\n

Way back at GDC 2011, Swery took the stage when\u00a0Deadly Premonition\u00a0<\/em>fever was at its peak to talk through his game design process, laying out seven concrete steps you can take when\u00a0trying to create appealing characters and narratives.<\/p>\n

It’s the kind of talk you go to GDC for, one of those\u00a0rare\u00a0opportunities\u00a0to catch\u00a0an interesting game maker earnestly explaining\u00a0their creative process, and now you can watch it completely free\u00a0on the official GDC YouTube channel!<\/a><\/p>\n

In addition to this presentation, the\u00a0GDC Vault<\/a>\u00a0and its accompanying\u00a0YouTube channel<\/a>\u00a0offers numerous other free videos, audio recordings, and slides from many of the recent\u00a0Game Developers Conference events<\/a>, and the service offers even more members-only content for GDC Vault subscribers.<\/p>\n

Those who purchased All Access passes to recent events like GDC or VRDC\u00a0already have full access to GDC Vault, and interested parties can apply for the individual subscription via\u00a0a GDC Vault subscription page<\/a>. Group subscriptions are also available: game-related schools and development studios who sign up for GDC Vault Studio Subscriptions can receive access for their entire office or company by contacting staff via the\u00a0GDC Vault group subscription page<\/a>. Finally, current subscribers with access issues can\u00a0contact GDC Vault technical support<\/a>.<\/p>\n
