15:00 Panel: Can You Make an Artistic Hit Game?
The events are realized as part of Interactive Empathy, a gaming and citizenship project organized by Institut français de Croatie and Goethe Institut Kroatien, supported by Franco-German Cultural Fund.
Trüberbrook is a sci-fi mystery adventure game set in rural Germany in the late 1960s. Besides its unusual setting and a strong influence of old school point-and-click adventures, one of Trüberbrook’s most distinctive features is its unique visual style. The entire scenery and backdrops were built from scratch as miniature models and staged with real-world filmic lighting setups. How do you turn miniature models into levels for a computer game and make them interactive? In their masterclass, Florian Köhne (game director) and Hans Böhme (lead artist) will show their long journey from first experiments to the finished product.
