Making new retro games

Daniel Morrison Neil is a musician, sound designer and lecturer in sound in the School of Innovation & Technology. Daniel is a director at the video game studio Team FOLON and previously worked on Fallout: London, as well as working as a dubbing mixer for various international films, and a recording mixer and engineer for La Chunky Studios in Glasgow.

Audio Design and Music in Games

Running a game studio is a series of decisions, and some of them only make sense in hindsight. This workshop is an open, interactive discussion about the real challenges, decisions, and hard-won lessons that come with running a games studio. We’ll dig into what goes wrong, what unexpectedly works, and how small choices can quietly snowball into major consequences (both good and bad). Your questions are actively encouraged throughout. Whether you’re curious about setting up a studio, running a business, transitioning from developer to leader, or what it actually means to own and manage a team, bring it all to the table. The conversation will follow what you want to know, not a fixed agenda. 
Rather than a scripted talk, this workshop is shaped by the questions and topics the audience bring.

Real-World Game Development: Challenges, Decisions, Lessons 

A look behind the scenes at the visual development of Godzilla x Kong: Titan Chasers, from the big picture down to the smallest details. We'll go over some of the challenges and the highlights of working with a major entertainment franchise; finding your style, setting goals and guidelines, and maintaining a consistent look as the team translates early concepts into final game assets. Like herding cats, but with more emails.

How to make games long-term – lessons from 5 years of solo dev

More than games: Beyond Entertainment

What happens when an AI becomes your entire dev team? Watch as we build a complete game from scratch without writing a single line of code - just having a conversation with Claude Code while you direct the action. YOU control the creative process: vote on game mechanics, suggest features, choose themes, and even name the final boss.
We'll speedrun game development through pure conversation, testing whether AI can handle everything from ""add power-ups"" to ""make it two-player."" Every audience member becomes a game designer as we discover just how far natural language programming can go. Come see the future of game development where creativity matters more than syntax, and watch your ideas come to life in real-time."
