Fun & Serious Game Festival returns to Bilbao with an interesting list of speakers for its traditional conferences. These will be held in the Luxua space of the BEC on December 10 and 11 and it can be followed both in person and online through Twitch.
Dinga Bakaba, Head of Studio at Arkane Lyon and co-creative director of video games Death loop, will be one of the outstanding speakers of the presentation cycle. Bakaba’s CV includes titles preceding his work as Game Designer at Gray Matter (on Wizarbox) or Game Designer at Dishonored and lead designer for Dishonored 2 (at Arkane Lyon). As well as its collaboration with Machine Games in the development of Wolfenstein: Youngblood and Wolfenstein: Cyber pilot.
Luis Antonio, creator of one of the most interesting titles of the year, 12 minutes, will be another of the most anticipated speakers. His first independent work, published by Annapurna Interactive for PC and Xbox, is a thriller that – with clear nods to Hitchcock and Kubrik’s cinema – is played from an aerial perspective. The adventure tells the story of a man trapped in a space-time loop. Antonio previously worked for Rockstar Games and Ubisoft, in addition to Jonathan Blow.

I have traveled to worlds you would never believe, finished with enemies that escape all mysticism. I felt my pulse quicken with each battle, and the sigh of who knows he will have to get up. There is always a villain waiting and an adventure around the corner.
