This talk at GDC Europe 2016, given by Kate Edwards, Executive Director of IGDA, draws on her 20 years of experience as a cartographer and games consultant to explain the key factors that game developers should consider to make their worlds more realistic and relevant, and to keep them as free as possible from inappropriate cultural references.

GDC talks cover a range of development topics, including game design, programming, audio, visual arts, business management, production, online gaming, and more. We publish a new GDC video every weekday. Subscribe to the channel to stay up to date with regular updates, and check out GDC Vault to see thousands of more in-depth talks from our archives.
