On the afternoon of Thursday, December 10, the friends of online gaming had the opportunity to learn the secrets of game development from the inside. Mr. Michael Papagathangelou, Co-Founder and Lead Game Developer of Traptics, spoke about the art of creating games and described the design, development and release of a game. He stressed the contribution of player involvement, design and artistic elements to the successful development of games. He also referred to the difficulties of financing and the cost of production, as well as to the Greek industry which is now oriented towards the development of games beyond entertainment. As he mentioned, in recent years the landscape has changed in our country, with game development being considered an interactive art form.
Finally, Mr. Papagathangelou answered the questions of the participants, talked to the audience and gave advice to young people who want to make their passion a profession.
We thank Mr. Papagathangelou for his participation in the video conference and wish him a continuous, successful course in this demanding and creative world of game development.
