- I am a millennial, so I like listicles. So, I'm going to do a 7, 10 or 20 (depending on how I feel I have time) list of suggestions on how to do worldbuilding. Or what some people call 'IP creation'. I also like long floaty introductions so I'll start with why worldbuilding is important, why that's where games can most improve currently. Why worldbuilding is big business. Why classy worldbuilding is often almost all there is to an 'IP' (with some examples from LOTR to 3 body problem etc.). And then I'll just try to offload usable tips to the people gathered there. Just plain bullet point list stuff. Like make sure your world can house multiple genres of story, from detective to adventure. That it can be used for games and other media. To more minute stuff like how to cultivate cultural interests and how to use Wikipedia for worldbuilding etc. Basically, that's it. I won't do a big preparation for this, since I know it all by heart -- it's what I'm operating on right now anyway, at work, and what I've operated on for years in games and as a novelist.
Robert Kurvitz, Creative Director of Disco Elysium - RED INFO
Conférence enregistrée au Game Camp France, les 24 & 25 juin 2024 à Lille.

"Don't do anything in your 20s. Don't work, nothing. Be a complete parasite. Just chill out and come up with cool stuff." 🔥🔥🔥
"In this world you can chose to be either alone or forgiving" is also a good one.
Terrible advice. You should be chasing your dreams, but you should also help contribute to society.
You don't get his advice lol@@ReFlectionsYT

Kurvitz giving the advice of "don't let your best work, your life's work, get taken over by capital hits like a gut punch
Honestly so hard to hear. I really hope he gets to do more stuff
These tips are so good. The names thing may sound stupid from the outside, but for someone who's trying to build a world it is SO real. And the jokes, the heartbreak... these are the things the will make your world feel truly real and alive, beyond epic battles and politics
got here because hobo man shared it. always a pleasure to hear him talk
“Have a lawyer present, be a lawyer, have a mother be a lawyer, have a sidekicker like Kim Kitsuragi, but he is a lawyer…”
Interesting guy, looks funny, throws in jokes during a presentation, a little awkward, kinda looks like Harry... Yeah that's exactly how I imagined him. Awesome talk! The bit about names for people and places was very insightful
Kurvitz and his team built a world that I and many others will probably remember for the rest of our lives. No amount of underhanded treachery or drama can take that away from them. I wish him all the best, I'm sure he will bounce back and shock us all again in due time.
I love seeing that Kurvitz is still out there; I hope to see something they make sooner or later
sure, in 15 years
my fucking god he is the goat
I really love how much importance he assigns to fantasy names. Cool names and believable names make a fantasy world so much more immersive.
Feels like seeing an old friend again, not to be parasocial ;_;
Good to see he is active.
There is perfetion in the ramblings of a man who made a masterpiece
This was excellent. Thank you, Robert, for creating the most interesting world and characters ever, and thank you Game Camp for uploading this presentation.
54:00 "In this world you can choose to be alone or forgiving, I suggest forgiving."
wow the ip betrayal really traumatized him horribly huh.
Understandable. The brainchild that he poured his soul into for half his adult life is now owned by a stuffed suit who saw it as an investment opportunity. Capitalism robbed him of what is uniquely his, only to feed its corpse a handful of people who didn't need more than they already had. And the rest of us have been robbed of any future works in the world of Elysium, just so someone could show a positive balance on one of their accounts for a couple of years.
Capitalism is like The Nothing in The Neverending Story: it grows for the sake of its own growth and doesn't care what it consumes in the process.
super interesting to hear im talking about names for so long, you can really begin to grasp how important good names are, and it makes me just understand and appreciate how good of a job he did with the names in Elysium
I really love how much importance he assigns to fantasy names. Cool names and believable names make a fantasy world so much more immersive!
This is quite a good video. I hope everyone gets their world built.
I’ll support whatever he chooses to do from here on out, forever.
44:29 Spot on advice
"tolkien has four good names for a mountain, and that's just one of four mountains there" 😭
The points about being able to tell stories in multiple genres in your world and about how writing a fictional autobiography is the ultimate flex were really insightful.
His advice on harvesting names from Wikipedia is also something I've seen the benefit of in my own worldbuilding efforts. It's how a small island settlement in my Age of Sail inspired DnD game ended up with the name Beef Town lol (real name of an old English colonial town I found on Wikipedia).
This is incredibly insightful
awesome
