PAX Online took place all of last week and Striking Distance Studios had the pleasure of making TWO whole appearances during the show.

First up, our Chief Development Officer Steve Papoutsis was a guest on the MonsterVine GenerOZity stream. There, Steve spoke with Brian Seymour on what a Chief Development Officer actually does, how the team has transitioned to working from home, and we got to learn a little about Steve's past work too.

Then over on the PAX panel side of things, our founder and CEO Glen Schofield was a guest panelist on the Environmental Storytelling: Familiar Worlds You Never Knew panel. Glen was joined by Tate Mosesian (Naughty Dog), Dave Bennet (Schell Games), and the panel was moderated by prolific video game voice actor Erika Ishii.

Topics touched on various subjects ranging from how one manages all the different aspects of creating a game, how different elements of the design can influence each other, and the challenges of ensuring that you get all the details right even though it can go unnoticed once the game is in the player's hands. (Jump to the 6:50:58 mark if the video doesn't start right at the interview.)

Thanks again to PAX and MonsterVine for having us!
