How to Create a Historical Character That 100 Million Users Will Love

Rise of Kingdoms is one of the most famous and successful casual strategy games in mobile gaming. We want to talk about the incredible, enormous amount of research and development hidden behind every RoK character design. Even though RoK's 3D characters may seem simple and casual at first glance, they are all the result of very detailed historical research. This is one of the key factors in RoK's success. During the presentation, our Lead 2D Character Concept Artist, Anna Kulakovska, and our historical consultant, Associate Professor Volodymyr Hutsul, will tell you about the RoK commanders:
– detailed historical research of sources for RoK commanders;
– how to satisfy the wishes of the casual game audience while preserving historical accuracy;
– how to turn a historical figure into an iconic character that players will love.
