Creator Explains Memorable Game Environment Design! Free Seminar on 4/22 (Wed): 'Intro to Game World Building ~Basic Principles of Environment Design and Biome Construction~'

Creek & River Co., Ltd. (C&R) will hold a free online seminar on Wednesday, April 22, for creators in the game industry, titled 'Introduction to Game World Building ~Basic Principles of Environmental Design and Biome Construction~'. This seminar will be conducted entirely in English, but you can also listen in Japanese through simultaneous interpretation. *You can choose the original (English) or the interpretation channel.

This seminar will explain the concepts, methods, and structure of environmental design common to all game genres, from small, constrained stages like 2D puzzles to vast 3D open worlds. The lecturer is Mr. Matthew Moss, a creative director with over 18 years of experience in Tokyo and the United States. Memorable game worlds always possess an environmental logic and a spatial narrative. Let's learn together to create a world where 'space itself becomes the storyteller.' If you are interested, please feel free to join.

<Seminar Contents> ・Fundamentals of environmental logic for creating a “convincing world” ・Methods of storytelling through spatial layout and object placement ・Structure and design principles of biomes (ecosystem, climate, terrain) ・Differences and common techniques in 2D and 3D environmental design ・Navigation design that naturally guides the player and creating spaces that evoke emotion ・A design approach to maintain consistency of the entire world, from macro to micro
