Additionally, the creative team will share their choices on the design of the characters, environments, and weapons design. “Dinga is an incredible talent we’re delighted to be honouring at
The Develop:Star Awards,” said Tandem Events Managing Director Andy Lane. “In Arkane Lyon’s opening keynote Dinga and the team are sure to provide fascinating insights and valuable development lessons as they discuss the creation of the outstanding, multi-award winning Deathloop. “This is just the beginning too. We’re thrilled to be returning to
Brighton this summer for a week full of knowledge sharing, valuable learning and networking opportunities, with a host of quality sessions offering practical takeaways aimed at inspiring developers to push the boundaries of game-making.” On top of headlining the conference, which runs from the 12th
to the 14th of July, Bakaba will also be receiving the Develop Star Award, in a ceremony taking place on the 13th. The award has been previously awarded to the likes of Team17’s Debbie Bestwick in 2021, Bethesda Games Studios’ Todd Howard in 2020, and Hello Games’ Sean Murray in 2019. “I am humbled to receive this beautiful award,” said Dinga Bakaba,
Studio Director and Co-Creative Director of Arkane Lyon. “I hope it can inspire new and aspiring developers, and it certainly motivates me to continue giving my best with the incredible team at Arkane Lyon to surprise and delight players!”
THE SPEAKERS Tandem Events has also announced the first round of Develop:Brighton 2022 speakers, with talks and roundtable discussions across eight conference tracks: Design, Coding, Art, Mobile, Business, Discoverability, Audio and Roundtables. The full list is available over the page, and we’ll have a more
thorough look at some of the ones to watch ahead of the event in July. Still, we couldn’t resist highlighting a few speakers in this first round. By our reckoning, Rebellion’s Sophie van den Boomen talk, titled
‘Just Houdini It - Using Houdini Effectively for Game Development’ is definitely worth checking out. Avid MCV/DEVELOP fans will know that we touched upon Houdini last month, in our talk with Sharkmob about how they’ve utilised Houdini’s procedural tools to bring AAA- design to the free-to-play battle royale space. Having been given a brief overview of Houdini ourselves, we’re certainly keen to learn more. Explosive Alan Productions’ Ashley Denton is giving a talk titled
‘The Indie Secret Weapon: TikTok (get discovered by doing very little).’ We’ve covered TikTok’s incredible potential for discoverability in the past, and if you’ve yet to start sharing your games on TikTok, we definitely recommend checking that out too. And finally, Women in Games’s Marie-Claire Isaaman will be
hosting a roundtable discussion titled ‘Building A Fair Playing Field.’ Isaaman was just recently presented with the Outstanding Achievement Award at the 2022 MCV/DEVELOP Women in Games Awards. We wholeheartedly recommend taking the opportunity to learn from her insight.
