Edvige Faini is a Concept Artist for movies and games from Milan, Italy. She will show what Concept Artists produce and how their work evolves from a digital drawing to a movie scene on screen.

ibb & obb is a game about puzzle solving, atmosphere and the interaction between players. Nobody plays the game for its nar-rative, yet there is an untold background story. This talk is about that story and how it helped to shape the game’s world.

‘Transmedia’ is a popular buzzword, but what does it mean? To some, it suggests complex stories, expanded via many different media, like Star Wars. To others, it reflects an increasingly digital culture where the difference between media no longer seems to exist. Hassler-Forest will discuss the complexities of transmedia storytelling, using the Walking Dead franchise as a main example.

Jan Roelfs is a two time Academy Award nominated Production Designer. He received his first nod for his fantastic production design on Gattaca. During a live interview we revisit that world and other ones he helped create.

VR developer Adriaan Rijkens talks about why Virtual Reality is changing the world and how you can be part of that change. He will talk about the challenges he faced during the development of Cinematic VR and Serious VR Game experiences.

Sharing experiences from the development of the Age of Wonders and Overlord franchises – and other games that didn’t turn out so well – Triumph Studios’ Lennart Sas discusses how treating a game’s features and content as social currency helps develop entertainment that can pique interest, trigger word of mouth and establish a community.

Justin van der Lek (current job: Star Wars Ep. VII) has worked on pivotal scenes for countless blockbuster movies. He presents a selection of these scenes and walks the audience through the creation process. How do these scenes contribute to the world in the movie, what did the director want, and what did the original screenplay say?

Romke Faber is (assistent) set & production designer and art director for movies such as Nova Zembla and the Blender-movie Tears of Steel. He researches the creation of new worlds as a starting point for creating stories.

In this session Corine Meijers and Remco Vlaanderen talk about how world-building occurs and is approached in two projects: De Pont and Ascent from Akeron. They will also talk about how Submarine Channel approaches this new means of storytelling and world building.

Triangle Studios created the game Cross of the Dutchman, based on the 16th century folk legend of Grutte Pier. It took the studio six year to finish the game. The talk focusses on the hardships of development, and how the studio grew with the project. Topics vary from concepting and development to planning and management.
