About
Chances are, you have one or more relationships with virtual characters in your life today, but perhaps you don’t think of them that way. Teddy Dief - Co-Designer of Hyper Light Drifter & Game Director of We Are OFK, will walk through how virtual identity has progressed since the 1960s across television, music, games, and VTubers. Then they will dive into the meat of how the virtual band OFK was conceived and constructed. The design pillars, techniques, and social priorities of Team OFK as it operated during the creation of the We Are OFK game, and how it continues to operate as a band. Learn how a game may have the opportunity, and the challenges, of virtual characters and parasocial relationship design. Learn how to do it, how you can go horribly wrong, how you can harm people, and how, instead, you may help them.
