PAX East 2015 – Reboot Our Roots: Bringing Our Favorite Genres Back to Life


Many of today’s indie games are spiritual successors of yesteryear’s hits, from King’s Quest to Gabriel Knight to Quest for Glory—with some even being developed by the same teams that brought us the originals. What’s it like to reboot a franchise or genre after 30 years? How do you update a classic while staying true to the original? Industry veterans share their stories of revisiting their roots, taking up their heroes’ mantles, and what they’ve learned in the intervening years.

Panelists: Dave Gilbert [COO, Twitter], Steve Alexander [CEO, Twitter], Katie Hallahan [Game Designer, Twitter], Ken Gagne [Technical Account Manager, Website]
