The Tech of Sea of Thieves

Andy Bastable | Rare Ltd
Chantelle Porritt | Rare Ltd

From its humble origins as a Unity prototype through the various milestones leading up to launch: the first ship, the first voyage, the first skeletons, the #GreatWater, the technical alphas, the betas, as well as the mighty Kraken. Along the way Andy will share some of the challenges of developing a shared-world game, how the culture of the studio changed the way the game was made, and how Rare took on, and mostly triumphed over, the curse of crunch. Yarrr!
