Picture this: you're playing a classic video game on your new console, the familiar worlds and characters rendered in stunning modern graphics, the original gameplay intact. But how do these old games come to life in our modern systems? Robin Lavallée, CEO of Implicit Conversions, takes us behind the scenes of game preservation and porting in this episode. With experiences spanning from the PSP to Ubisoft, Robin's gaming wisdom is as broad as it is deep.
Think back to your favorite old games, the features that made them unique, the bugs that became features, and the feel of the controls in your hands. Now imagine bringing those games to a modern audience without losing any of their charm. Robin guides us through this intricate process, from preserving unique bugs in Final Fantasy VII to adapting control systems for new platforms. We dig into the art of choosing games for porting, and the challenges of finding testers who aren't familiar with the original game.
But it doesn't stop there. Robin also gives us a peek into the world of Implicit Conversions, a company dedicated to keeping classic games alive for the current generation of gamers. We explore the joy of playing old games on new systems, and the importance of making them not just playable, but fun. So, join us on this journey through the heart of game development and preservation, and rediscover the magic of your favorite games.
