In this session Writer/Director Jon McKellan dives into several key scenes of their Best British Game BAFTA Winning game 'Observation', discussing their origin, concepts and production. Each scene tackles a different aspect of building the game, from the writing process, performance, technical design, and polish, with time for Q&A. This session would be useful for anyone with an interest in 'high-polish' indie game production, and experimental narrative design.
