The /noclip Formula - How and Why to Document the Development of Your Game
Danny O'Dwyer, founder of /noclip, has documented the development of over 100 games over the past decade. In this workshop, he will detail how studios, regardless of their size, can use simple, inexpensive processes to tell the story of their game's creation from full development documentaries to dev-logs and community updates. Learn how to empower your team to tell their own story, and crucially, how doing so can strengthen the bonds between a studio and the community who plays their games.
