<div style="margin: 5px 5% 10px 5%;"><img src="https://www.sickgaming.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/come-to-gdc-and-see-how-untitled-goose-games-levels-were-scouted.jpg" width="300" height="300" title="" alt="" /></div><div><p>One of the most exciting aspects of the game industry’s thriving indie scene is seeing innovators apply new tricks to solve old problems,&nbsp;and at the <a href="https://gdconf.com/?_mc=blog_x_gama_le_x_gdcsf_x_x-36-gdc20">Game Developers Conference</a> in March one of the&nbsp;<em>Untitled Goose Game&nbsp;</em>devs will show you how a filmmaking background helped define the look of one of 2019’s standout indie darlings.</p>
<p>Notably, in a GDC 2020 <a href="https://gdconf.com/conference/game-design?_mc=blog_x_gama_le_x_gdcsf_x_x-36-gdc20">Design track</a> talk on “<a href="https://schedule.gdconf.com/session/level-design-summit-google-maps-not-greyboxes-digital-location-scouting-for-untitled-goose-game/870577?_mc=blog_x_gama_le_x_gdcsf_x_x-36-gdc20">Google Maps, Not Greyboxes: Digital Location Scouting for ‘<em>Untitled Goose Game</em>‘​</a>”&nbsp;(part of the Level Design Summit!) House House’s Jake Strasser will show you how he went location scouting (with the help of Street View) for real-world places that fulfilled the game’s design needs.</p>
<p>What’s so interesting about his method is the way in which this process ensured the level design of the goose game is a collage of real-world spaces – an interplay of intriguing requirements set by chosen source locations, level affordances, and aesthetic restrictions.</p>
<p>So come out to GDC and hear about this process and its benefits,&nbsp;find out which village in England the goose game is based on,&nbsp;get abehind the scenes look at bits of development, and hear some arguments about why it’s good to ground digital spaces in real places!</p>
