Developer’s Café Chat with Steve Ince
Tuesday, June 1st & Wednesday June 2nd 2004
This week…
The Developer’s Café will be hosting a Q & A with Steve Ince, Broken Sword series Producer, Designer and writer. Steve has recently made the leap into independence from his long-term position at Revolution Software. He has generously offered to sit down at the GB Developer’s Café and talk about his insight/experience into adventure game creation and his past projects with Revolution.
This will present a unique opportunity to delve deeper into some of adventure gaming’s most highly rated titles; including the Broken Sword series, In Cold Blood and Beneath A Steel Sky.
You will also have the unique opportunity to pick the brain of an industry veteran about anything and everything you want to know about the inside world of Game Development. So for these special two days, Steve will be all ours.
So what’s the back-story and future plans of our latest guest? Well let’s hear from Steve himself….
“ I am thrilled at the prospect of expanding my creativity into new and exciting areas,” he said. “The industry has more potential than at any other time to give its customers ever more rewarding experiences. I intend to take a big part in providing that. The importance of good writing in games is slowly being recognised and the intersection of writing and design will lead to groundbreaking new developments.”
An 11-year industry veteran, Ince’s dedication to the cause of providing quality games bore fruit with his nomination for Excellence in Writing at this year’s Game Developers Choice Awards. This followed on from the three nominations that Broken Sword – The Sleeping Dragon received at this year’s BAFTA ceremony for Best Design, Best PC Game and Best Adventure.
Never content with sitting on his laurels, Ince has continued his life-long love of art and comic strips and his first book, Crescent and Claw, has just been published, demonstrating the broad perspective he brings to any project.
