In this webinar, Matt Cox, Creative Director at Gearbox Software, breaks down the design decisions made so the game was familiar to the established audience, but also where they chose to invent beyond Borderlands and why.
Tiny Tina's Wonderlands represents an off-ramp from the mainline Borderlands games, and is a first step in the hopes of creating a new fantasy shooter IP for Gearbox, opening them up to a whole new fanbase.
The talk will also discuss the ideation of challenges to lessons learned with the unique features of Tiny Tina's Wonderlands: the Overworld, Chaos Chamber, Character Creator, Spells, Multiclassing, and balancing the story at the table versus the story in the game.
The presentation will be followed by a series of virtual networking sessions—the perfect time to make connections, ask questions about the session, and get some great follow-up advice.
