Will Freeman is speaking at the following session/s
The Story of Oddworld: Soulstorm
Oddworld: Soulstorm’s journey began in 2014 as the team was finishing up Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty and ventured its way toward a next-gen push, assisted by Unity’s high-fidelity visuals, but it all ended up teetering on a technical moonshot to bring it all home…and that’s just the beginning.
Host: Will Freeman, Freelance Journalist

One of the things I like about Develop is it brings people together from across Europe and the whole world. There is a very high level of professionals here, so you have company leaders having drinks with juniors from their community.
