This Month’s Speaker: Omar Youssef (He/Him)

Bio:
An award winning narrative designer that specializes in stories that linger. Omar has worked through the indie trenches on Star Scramble Crossing, Two Timin’ Towers and RubySharks Mantra, in a career spanning the last decade marked by an ability to take charge and quickly solve problems on every rung on the ladder. He hosts charity Esports tournaments, balances gameplay systems, and has a mission to make narrative more accessible to juniors with the annual Unknown Cities Game Jam, giving free tools to remove barriers.

Talk:
“Preparing games that make you future” is a short talk detailing the work gone into starting development of your big FIRST title and the balance between the business and art sides of a creator. Omar plans to do this talk now and another postmortem once the game is done at Level Up as a follow through.

Come for the talk, and stay for the games. See you there!
