We’re proud to announce that Rich Vogel, co-Studio Director (along with Gordon Walton, also on our Board of Advisors) at BioWare Austin, will be kicking off the workshop on August 3rd with a keynote speech focusing on the scope of virtual world production.
Mr. Vogel has been influential in the game development community for 18 years and counting. Before founding the mega-hit producing Austin Studio with Sony Online Entertainment, he was instrumental in developing a number of online games, including: Meridian 59, Ultima Online, and the first two iterations of Star Wars Galaxies in 2003 and 2004.
His experienced perspective and commercial success will provide participants with a unique look into the complexities of virtual world creation, community-building and commercialization - relevant even for those aiming at a purely academic context.
[For more information on Rich, take a look at his impressive resume on the Board of Advisors page on the VW2 website.]
