This is a past event - you can watch the full recording of the panel discussion here on our YouTube channel.

Hamburg is not only a hotspot for the development of computer games, but also for numerous vocational schools and universities that offer courses specifically for future professionals in the games industry. For students and career starters, the exchange with experts in the games industry is essential in order to know the requirements in the individual disciplines and to prepare for them. To intensify this exchange, Gamecity Hamburg offers the event format Game Starter.

For the twelfth installment of Game Starter on November 21, we will be talking about Narrative Design. Three industry experts will talk about their own careers, their everyday work life as well as what career starters who are interested in becoming a narrative designer should know about the industry, as well as answer our viewers' questions.
