Game Plan: Exploring In-Game Music Experiences
Presented by the Victorian Music Development Office and Music Ally
As people have spent more and more time socialising and interacting with the key gaming metaverses during the Covid-19 pandemic, opportunities for non-gaming entertainment brands – and music artists – have mushroomed.
However, from blockbuster titles like Fortnite and user-generated gaming platforms like Roblox through to mobile games and virtual reality, the gaming world is complex and diverse. For artists and labels wanting to get involved, it can seem a daunting ecosystem.
In this webinar, we will explore the opportunities in games for artists and music companies to create engaging gaming content and experiences; introduce the companies who are already helping our industry to create engaging gaming content and experiences; and analyse some of the most inventive examples of artist campaigns in that space.
Topics covered will include:
An overview of key gaming market trends
Sync & Licensing
Mobile Gaming
In Game Virtual Experiences
Artists as gamers
