What is left for a game to do when the animated film has already told its story? During this lecture, we will explore how to adapt familiar characters into a new medium and create a unique experience for them. From the plot and hero's personality to mechanics, puzzles, and the final climax. We will also discuss how to inspire the team with a shared narrative goal and keep it alive throughout development.

The recording will be published after the conference
