Shadowrun Chronicles: Rallying an Existing Community for Your Game Project
026/06/2015 - 5. presentation - Fest Anča - Game Days, http://www.festanca.sk/
Michael Tisler - http://www.cliffhanger-productions.com/ - Austria
Developing a game for an existing community requires a different approach than creating a game for a new one, especially when the community has been around for several decades. This talk is not solely about community management, but rather about the actions we took to ensure that the final game will be embraced and well known by all fans of the franchise, while also being a great game in its own right. We will address the topics of Kickstarters, Early Access, and Steam Reviews, and the importance of keeping an open mind.
Michael Tisler took an exemplary entry point into his gaming career by applying for a job as a tester at Cliffhanger-Productions. After half a year he became a game designer, and since then has successfully published three games for various devices and platforms. In addition, he is an organizer of the Central European Games Conference, which takes place for the second time in Vienna on January, 2016.

Shadowrun Chronicles: Ako získať priazeň existujúcej komunity pre váš herný projekt
Vyvíjať hru pre existujúcu komunitu si vyžaduje odlišný prístup než tvoriť hru pre celkom novú cieľovú skupinu. Obzvlášť, ak daná komunita existuje desiatky rokov. V prednáške sa dozviete nielen o manažmente komunity, ale hlavne o tom, aké kroky tvorcovia podnikli, aby dosiahli, že ich hru prijímu všetci fanúšikovia franšízy, a aby zároveň vytvorili hru, ktorá bude skvelá sama osebe. Budeme sa venovať aj téme kickstarterov, early access-u a recenziám na Steame.
Michael Tisler začal svoju kariéru v hernom priemysle ukážkovým spôsobom: uchádzal sa o miesto testera v spoločnosti Cliffhanger-Productions. Po polroku si splnil sen a začal sa venovať videohernému dizajnu. Odvtedy stihlo vydať tri hry pre rôzne zariadenia a platformy. Navyše je jedným z organizátorov konferencie Central European Games Conference, ktorá sa v januári 2016 bude už po druhýkrát konať vo Viedni.
