KEYNOTE SPEAKEr

Our Keynote Speaker for Polaris 2022 is Lauren Scott!


Aside from being an excellent human being, Lauren was the economy designer on Double Fine’s Psychonauts 2. She will share her thoughts on a relevant topic on the first night, to inspire us and get us in the mood to discuss game design!


Lauren’s talk will explore those oh shit moments in game design, when you’ve built your system and then discovered that it doesn’t work as expected.
