In this GDC 2020 virtual talk Ubisoft’s Adam Ritchie offers insight into the effort that goes into making NPCs talk in games like Tom Clancy’s The Division 2, as well as the pipeline and tools behind it.
It was an in-depth look at some of the challenges faced and overcome by the Voice Production team on a big, triple-A online, open-world game project.
If you didn’t catch it live earlier this year, good news: you can now watch Ritchie’s talk anytime you like over on the official GDC YouTube channel!
In addition to this presentation, the GDC Vault and its accompanying YouTube channel offers numerous other free videos, audio recordings, and slides from many of the recent Game Developers Conference events, and the service offers even more members-only content for GDC Vault subscribers.
Those who purchased All Access passes to recent events like GDC or VRDC already have full access to GDC Vault, and interested parties can apply for the individual subscription via a GDC Vault subscription page. Group subscriptions are also available: game-related schools and development studios who sign up for GDC Vault Studio Subscriptions can receive access for their entire office or company by contacting staff via the GDC Vault group subscription page.
