Description:
Make it Juicy is a presentation by indie developer Taro Omiya, who will describe techniques used in his own games to create a more engaging, polished experience. He will use Flappy Bird, the simple-yet-popular mobile game, as a basis for demonstrating “juice,” a type of in-game feedback coined by Kyle Gray, Kyle Gabler, Shalin Shodhan, and Matt Kucic. No prior experience in Game Development is necessary to enjoy this presentation!
