<div style="margin: 5px 5% 10px 5%;"><img src="https://www.sickgaming.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/video-advice-for-game-devs-on-creating-believable-heroes.jpg" width="200" height="200" title="" alt="" /></div><div><p>In this 2017 GDC talk, Infinity Ward’s Brian Horton proposes some guidelines and approaches for game developers with a desire to create a hero that will feel real to the player.</p>
<p>It was an intensely practical look at a common task in entertainment, and as you might expect Horton drew deeply on both his own work and common touchpoints like Jospeh Campbell’s oft-cited The Hero with a Thousand Faces.</p>
<p>His talk was a revealing look at how classic storytelling tropes can be used by game developers to create characters which feel believable and familiar. If you didn’t have a chance to see it live, no worries: you can now <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qK16DjlqB3s">watch it for free on the official GDC YouTube channel!</a></p>
