Main Day 1 - Tuesday 10th September

12:00 PM PRESENTATION: Building an Engaging Live Ecosystem for Players

Raindrops In the Flood: What are the key pieces of a living product? How do we create a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts? Live is more than a buzzword - it's a combination of long-term systems design, unique selling points, community support, and brand identity, all of which must be mixed, updated, and rebalanced on a near-daily basis.
Spoiled and Disloyal: Why do so many live games fail? Just how hard is it to keep a game going? Success, it turns out, is more than mashing a good game into a good community, because most live game designs and business models ignore one vital fact: They're not the only option.
Execution Is Everything: Live design is deeply simple, yet insanely difficult to pull off. Why is this? What does true, day one, best-in-class product design look like, and how do you salvage a product that isn't trending toward it?
