- Designing historical open world RPG
Dan Vávra is one of the most recognizable Czech game developers. His career started at Illusion Softworks and he first worked on Hidden and Dangerous as a 2D artist and then become director and writer on Mafia series. Since 2011 he is a creative director at Warhorse Studios which just released realistic medieval open world RPG Kingdom Come: Deliverance - one of the most successful crowdfunded games so far. The game sold one million units in first week.
Speech description:
Dan will speak about our approach to storytelling in open world, how the historical accuracy and realism affects our design choices and about the historic context of our game - how accurate are we actually.
I hope KCD is just the beginning of an amazing franchise. I always wanted a realistic RPG
there will be a theresa dlc that features her as a playable character! and if you actually played through the game, theresa is a really strong woman and was depicted well
the devs are def not sexist
@@suzannadraws1178 He's probably being sarcastic, and mocking the SJW fake outrage about Daniel, when folk falsely labelled him racist, because there's only white people in KCD. Surely he can't actually think KCD is sexist? If so, he's a dumb twat.
@Bogdan 96 No fuck you! Im from bohemia and here this all hapened like in the game, so fuck you all social justice plebs.
@@MiraMosty Klidni to, když to nedokážeš napsat správně, akorát seš za idiota...

I love how Central/Eastern European countries started developing very good games.
It's not really that hard now, with all the garbage released, to make better game.
He was the main guy behind Mafia 1: City of Lost Heaven, so i dont think they "started". Its more like they did not meet a competitor yet :)
Jan Hlavacik He also co-wrote Mafia II.
True!
I always admired the ambitions of such devs. Very tight on resources and yet they make giant open world games with top tier graphics for the time. Stalker, Metro, Mafia.
FULL RESPECT!!!!!!!! from Poland . I just finished "game" today.... I`m over 40 ... years old. This is my first game in my life when I felt wet eyes ......at the end of the game. Full respect for you Czechs!! We are neighbors. This game learnt me your history. I`ve never been in your country ....then if I will get the opportunity I will go with high blood pressure and a full heart of emotions........ Polish greetings .... from UK
Super interesting stuff. You can see how much love and passion went into this game
Hopefully this will start a new trend of historical accurate games.
Battlefield V is on the doorstep :)
Yea that battlefield with women with prosthesis hand, realistics, ok ... :D
Meanwhile Ubisoft be like: Why don't we put werewolves in England 870 CE?
FYI for folks who don't know. The grumpy old man around the 7:00 mark is Sapkowski, the Author of the Witcher books.
KCD is one of the few truly original games that have come out in recent years! I'm playing the game right now and it's definitely one of the most unique and immersive games I've ever played. A breath of fresh air in a sea of AAA mediocrity!
My thoughts exactly.
This guy puts AAA games to shame. Best game ever created in this lifetime.
Because it wasn't just a copy paste cashgrab like assassin's creed or something like that. They really worked hard for years to make this.
Greetings from Poland!
Please return Krakow to Bohemia :D :D :D
Krakov nikdy nebyl Český jelikož neleží ve Slezku 🙂@@durinsbane6086
I just bought this game 3 days ago and I can't stop playing its so good and addicting!
I remember years ago hesitating to back the game on kickstarter ... absolutelly worth it . THE MAN THE MITH THE LEGEND DANIEL VAVRA !
I really love this guy. My favorite game designer by far. He is uncompromising when it comes to quality.
Felicitations for this beautiful game. As a Frenchman I did not know the history of medieval Bohemia and it fascinated me. We do not know enough about the history of the peoples of Central Europe and that is a pity. But your game can partially repair this error! I hope that other productions from Central European countries will reach us.
Kudos to the crowd for actually getting two great questions in at the end. It would be so typical if someone would end the thing by asking some swang-wang-wang question like ”what inspired you to make this game” or ”What part are you happiest with”.
Fascinating stuff. Impressive just how much work went into getting the game as accurate as possible. It has driven me to want to learn more about my own country's history. Actually, running concurrently with the time period in this game, in my own country, Owain Glyndwr was in the middle of the Welsh Rebellion against the English. I would love to see a KCD-like game based on that conflict.
I watched the presentation and now I feel quite hungry
I can only praise the all insane job done to make the game as accurate as possible. All those chronicles studied and consultation with professional historians who are specialise in the period. And yet there are always morons who think that american "blog historians" are more competent than that :/
Dunning Kruger effect at its finest.
KCD nejlepší hra!!! pořád je v ní co objevovat, příroda je v ní tak nádherná že člověka to nutí projet každý kousek mapy! :)
I finished this game 2 days ago and I have to say, it's one of my favourite RPGs. For me this is right after Witcher 3
Good taste! Also play Vampire Bloodlines, Deus Ex series, Cyberpunk and Fallout New Vegas if you haven't.
There is a lot of info on Bohemian history and interest in medieval gaming in the English-speaking world. Warhammer Historical even produced a Hussite Wars book. But that's the catch, it's all in English. I don't know about Bohemia, but elsewhere in Europe this period had higher death rates than any other period in history, even World War 2.
Awesome, thank you for the upload! :) I red the title of the music (Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi - Fortune Plango Vulnera, if some1 missed from the description) but what is the title(s) of the movie(s) about the knights, please???
Polish movie Crusaders and Czech Proti Vsem and Jan Zizka.
Polish movie title is Krzyżacy, which means Crossers, Polish name for TeutonIc Order, not Crusaders (Krzyżowcy)
Thank you, found them!^

one of the best open worlds of all time Kingdom come, RDR2, Witcher 3 and BOTW are hands down the best open world games of the previous generation.
19:40. Krakow is a Czech city and you should give it back :) Dan, let me shake you hand!
Ігор Гончаренко Jole was good, but to be clear, Kraków was build by Wiślanie (polish slav) and was conquered by Czechia.
Cheers from Silesia!
Prague is german give it back
@@liptonmapper2543, Germany is Italian, so give it back. The moral of this fable is simple: "once upon a time everything belonged to someone else, but you live now". Only Russians stuck in ancient time, when "give it us because once upon a time it was under our control" was an argument. Now, if anyone think that his place belongs to some other country, he can sell his house, pack stuff and move there, no need to call that country, simply because it works both ways.
@@dhxl Italy is French give it back
@@liptonmapper2543 exactly!
Whats the site he mentions at 5:47?
25:00 - 25:11 👍. Svatá pravda.
Anyone know the names of the movies he uses in the presentation?
I'm not sure about the foreign ones but there were used shots from the Czech film trilogy about the Hussites. "Jan Hus, Jan Žižka, Proti všem" by Otakar Vávra.
8:40 what's the song, anybody?
Amazing song! Carl Orff: "O Fortuna - Carmina Burana"

yeah but why aren't half the characters in KCD homosexual blacks?
xD
is this a joke right?
@@martinnicdalsihovedetnemus6700 yeah
@@vojtechsvaricek1863 ok good
It is hard to know what's a joke and what's not in this word
@@martinnicdalsihovedetnemus6700 your right thats very sad when some people cannot even recognize it as a joke immedeatly, but u are right
Sir Hanush is wearing... interesting clothes.
😂
Drinking game: Everytime Dan Vavra says "bullshit", take a shot. :-D
*dead*
35:50 Mrchojedy = Bitchypoisons xDxDxD
Vavra is the leader of the anti-sjw coalition in video games. KEK VULT! xD
He also worked on the first two mafia games.
No SJW but SJP like social justice plebs, they arent a warriors but crying kids
He's honestly just a regular, although very talented, guy who doesn't have patience for SJW bullshit and speaks what's on his mind without much of a filter. It bothers me how many people actively tried to hurt the game's success and didn't like him as a person because of that.
Sjws games flopped very badly,just look at mass effect andromeda,nobody plays that game.
In Czech republic many ppl still love their freedom and remember how communism is bad thats why.
"...AAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaa"
Ja to jebu, uz ten zacatek " no a kdyz sme zacli delat cesku hru z ceske historie, uz to byli enom cesi kteri nemeli viru." jestli toto nevystihuje cast nasi narodni duse, tak uz nevim.
Vávra často hodně přehání. Já si naopak pamatuju kolik lidí se na tu hru těšilo a drželo WH palce, aby to byla dobrá hra. Největší výtky byly jen k chybějícímu českému dabingu.
14 feminists dislike this :D
I love this game, and they did a brilliant job. However, they could have done a lot more work on getting consistent English voice acting. It was very jarring to hear some of the main characters come out with North American accents when most others had British ones. Father Godwin being the worst offender, but also Sir Divish and Robard at the beginning of the game. Anyway, this is a minor flaw in an otherwise excellent game.
People in czechland also have different accent than people from Moravia..so people in the game could also be from different places and therefore have different accents. It is also why people in Skellige speak differently than people in Novigrad in Witcher.
The different accents were surely intentional as they stand for different local accents at the time. Which accent should have been the right one anyway?
There are dozens and dozens of regional dialects for both British and American English. Would have sounded much better if they weren't mixed IMHO.
The reasons are simple - we foreigners cant hear the different accents of english. The second one is they used only native english actors living in czechia, plus a few like Henry from GB.
He spoke about it in another presentation. Dan is aware that different varieties of English sound very distinct to native speakers, even if we Czechs can't really tell the difference. However, he had big difficulties finding actors who fit their roles and also were from the same general area. Add to that having to balance the costs associated with hiring actors, paying for them to travel here and time everything perfectly so you have all the actors you need for each scene present at the right time... all in all, I'm sure they did their best.
go back to mafia man
oh wait, he's not wearing his fascist band 'burzum' tshirt this time. what happened?
Burzum is not a fascist band. Its black metak band. Its singer is a murdere, senteced one, but not a fascist. Do your homework.
Stop using Fallout symbol as a nick name and avatar, it is not meant to be used by cunts.
@@8Paul7 😂😂😂😂😂
Burzum is not fascist my boy
Why you have to be mad, communist?
