The Number One Educational Resource for the Game Industry

Session Name: Keep It Complex, Stupid! Creating Games as a Service
Speaker(s): David Nisshagen
Company Name(s): Paradox Interactive
Track / Format: Design
Overview: Removing unnecessary complexity has long been a holy grail of design. While it has worked wonders for boxed products, it does not translate into the software-as-a-service concept. This talk, taking plenty of examples from games in the Magicka franchise, describes the benefits of complexity and the resulting emergent behavior.
