BioWare founders delivering keynote address at GDC Canada

BioWare founders delivering keynote address at GDC Canada

GDC Canada is just about a month away from now (May 12-13), and will be taking place not to far from Neo's head office, in lovely Vancouver, Britsh Columbia.

Today it was announced that the event's keynote addressed will be handled by BioWare's founders, Dr. Ray Muzyka and Dr. Greg Zeschuk. They will be delivering talk entitled "Emotionally Engaging Narrative: Gaming's New Frontier." This seems a topic that the pair are easily qualified to address, as BioWare's focus on quality narratives is apparent in practically all of their well-selling RPGs, such as the recent Mass Effect.

“We couldn’t have found two more appropriate speakers for the inaugural GDC Canada, as Ray Muzyka and Greg Zeschuk are two of the most esteemed members of the game development community worldwide, and certainly leaders amongst the Canadian game development community,” said Izora de Lillard, GDC Canada event director. “Both are also pioneers of the move towards making games that tell rich stories and affect players on a deep emotional level; we look forward to hearing how they inspire the attendees of GDC Canada to push their games into what they are rightfully calling gaming’s ‘new frontier.’”
