Spoken by a trained anthropologist who specialises in identity development, semiotic NPC Design: Mapping Symbols of Identity outlines how narrative designers and game developers can utilise the linguistic philosophical field of semiotics - that is, how meaning is communicated through symbolism - in order to directly translate human experience into programmatic representation. Attendees will learn thought strategies for building NPC design frameworks, with a particular eye to procedurally generated NPC design.
