Full session from devcom Developer Conference 2022: Baudelaire Welch (Senior Narrative Designer at Larian Studios) talks about the sublime within the absurd, about the rocky history of games which try and present themselves as long-form comedy, the greater difficulties that creating developed comedy worlds presents in games than other media, and a few forgotten indie geniuses who they think pull it off in the most magnificent of ways.
