Peter Molyneux to Keynote at GCA

Peter Molyneux of Lionhead Studios (and Fable 2 fame) will give a keynote at this year’s GCAC in September.

Best known for the Black & White and Fable series, Molyneux has been creating games for more than 20 years in what has already been a Hall-of-Fame career. At GCAC, he will give his keynote on “Creating Believable Game Worlds.”

Next generation technology means it is possible for game developers to create very detailed complex game worlds. But the creation of such worlds takes a lot of people and a long time. Molyneux believes there are useful lessons to be learned from Fable II, and for the first time he is able to speak about how the simulation, economy, story and characters all work together to create an engaging game world. All of these elements are crucial to overall gaming experience and using Fable II as an example he will show how it is now possible to create a cohesive and immersive game world.

“Pushing the boundaries of interactive entertainment is something I’m very passionate about – it’s been the focus of much of my career,” said Peter Molyneux. “It is an honour to be a part of Games Convention Asia and to have the opportunity to share some of what I have learned over the years with show attendees.”

“Peter Molyneux is easily one of the most recognizable celebrities in game development today,” said Frank Sliwka, project director of GCAC. “His participation gives us a solid international expert for the opening keynote, and that is exciting for all of us.”
