How can playing D&D help designers, artists or even coders improve their craft? Daniel will explore the general idea of giving a player rules and systems, and then the tools to break them. Come along to find out how that can lead to improved creative and analytical practice!

A recent graduate from QUT with a major in Game Design. Daniel has special interests in game design, QA and production. With his team Variant Games, they released their first small game M is for Mutant in 2015.

This video was recorded on the 7th of August 2016 as part of our annual Lightning Talk event, hosted by Game Development Brisbane. If you are interested in following upcoming events, you can sign up to any of these channels:
