GDC 2023 Presentation - 'Dead Space': Harnessing the Power of Light and Darkness - by Guillaume Goudreault

I had the pleasure of giving a talk about the Dead Space Remake at GDC 2023. During this talk: 'Dead Space': Harnessing the Power of Light and Darkness, we will take a deep dive into the lighting art direction of the Dead Space Remake. I go over the development journey from how the initial ideation was carried out to honor the original Dead Space, to the production challenges with the new lighting features of the game. I will talk about the lighting and key pipeline elements the team developed in order to create a seamless USG Ishimura, including: the development of the light fixture, systematic lighting behavior working with the intensity director, color grading, and the integration of ACES color space in their pipeline.
