  • In 2018, pumped by the success of their first game, "Bury me, my Love," Florent Maurin and his team start working on a second project called The Wreck. They had money, experience, confidence, and a great idea to toy with. Things looked bright. But after a year, the vertical slice the team worked so hard on pretty much sucks. How did it come to this? What went wrong? And, more importantly: Is it still possible to stop The Wreck from ending in a wreck? In this session, Florent explains how success can sometimes have negative consequences, how easy it is to rush in the wrong direction, how hard it can be to steer away from it, and how, sometimes, what you really need is a series of kicks in the butt.

    Great advice on giving advice!
    Which is to trust the person you're giving the advice to, to be able to execute their own solutions.

    Depends who you're making the game for. Are you making the game for yourselves, fans, shareholders, politics, or to produce a narrative? This also plays a role in what makes a successful game because in marketing you need to target and know your target audience.

      While it's true the investors were probably correct, this talk has a second purpose which shows us how much influence power and money has on the games created at all levels today.
