The Quest for Authenticity in Historical Games - Creative Assembly Talk
Luke Holmes
Lecture Theatre 2, 11 Woodland Road, Bristol, BS8 1TB
The Bristol Digital Game Lab is delighted to welcome Luke Holmes, Senior Game Designer from Creative Assembly, the multi-award winning BAFTA UK games studio, to the University of Bristol on Wednesday 26 April. Luke will talk about ‘The Quest for Authenticity in Historical Games‘.
Are ‘fun’ and ‘good history’ opposite concepts in historical games? How can we tell if our games are authentic to the past? This short talk explores best practice in historical game design. It introduces some of the key debates and useful tools for amateurs and professional game makers alike.
The talk will be held in LT2, 11 Woodland Road, and will be followed by a drinks reception. All welcome, book here.
