About Session
Few games are built to endure for more than a decade. The Long Dark has.
Join Hinterland founder and CEO Raphael van Lierop for a candid conversation about the journey behind The Long Dark, the evolution of Hinterland, and what it takes to build games, communities, and a studio with the long term in mind. The conversation will explore how the business of games has changed over the past 15 years, the creative and technical decisions behind projects designed to evolve over time, managing community expectations through years of development, and Canada’s place in the global games industry.
Looking ahead, Raphael will also share his perspective on some of the forces shaping the industry’s next chapter, including the growing debate around generative AI and its role in game development.
