Keynote: DEATHLOOP: Looking Inside a Design Loop
In this fireside chat, members of the Award-winning Arkane Lyon studio team, including this year’s Develop Star Award recipient Dinga Bakaba, discuss some of the development challenges and successes they had during production of DEATHLOOP.
Discussion topics will include:
- Creating a first-person action game in a brand new world, while preserving the Dishonored heritage.
- Analyzing the challenges of developing an immersive sim with the added complexity of multiplayer components.
- How the studio focused on the personal skills they had to develop during DEATHLOOP's development.
- The creative team will share their choices on the design of the characters, environments, and weapons design.
This panel will change how you look at making your next game.
It’s really nice to see some of the younger people in our studio come to Develop, interact with other people in the dev community and make new contacts. I think it’s really important to learn from other people.

Develop always gets put in the diary. There are many reasons to be here, not just the talks, but the networking, people exchanging ideas about where the industry is right now and where it’s going to. It’s pretty essential to be here I think.
