Manage episode 308481322 series 3013205
This week on The Game Dev Show we’ve been lucky enough to speak to Preston Watamaniuk, Game Director at BioWare, who helped design many of the industry’s most iconic RPGs, including Mass Effect 2 and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.
Preston takes us through his love of Star Trek, Lord of the Rings, and Star Wars, his appreciation of authentic experiences, his beginnings working as a garbageman, and dives into how he got started in game and system design.
We also cover his work at BioWare, what 'RPG' means in 2021, how to inspire creativity, and his views on game design.
