Speaker(s): | Jeff Agala, Jamie Cheng |
Company Name(s): | Klei Entertainment, Klei Entertainment |
Track / Format: | Independent Games Summit |
Overview: | Mark of the Ninja was, without question, Klei Entertainment's most ambitious game. Art, technology, design, and audio domains were challenged in ways they had never been challenged before. We managed to build the game in 16 months, without significant overtime, to a level of quality we're immensely proud of. Creative director Jeff Agala will discuss how the team grew and arose to meet these challenges, delivered a great game, and did it without destroying themselves. |
