How do you work AI into your design process and still maintain your unique style and approach?
Join artist and creator Pearlyn Lii for hands-on workshop designed to unlock the potential of your great ideas through the collaboration of human creativity and artificial intelligence. This session promises a practice-led experience into the art of world-building, tailored for creatives, storytellers, and anyone eager to explore the frontiers of narrative construction.
Participants will be guided through the initial stages of conceptualizing their world-building process, starting from a nascent script or story idea replete with a basic plot structure. This serves as the bedrock for the subsequent development of key elements such as characters, scenes, and environments.
We’ll then look at treatments and how to translate abstract concepts into real elements. Specifically, we’ll talk about prompts that generate great results and how to move into scripting and storyboarding.
Pearlyn addresses the challenges of working with AI systems, including managing uncertainty and fostering breakthroughs. A significant focus is placed on intentionality in collaboration, emphasizing the importance of clear communication and the journey from concept to project realization.
Through a blend of Pearlyn’s experience and practical exercises, attendees will leave equipped with the knowledge and inspiration to transform their ideas into captivating worlds.
What you’ll learn:
- An introduction to generative AI through Pearlyn’s work
- How to sketch up your process from an initial script through a plot structure
- Best approaches tp defining your key elements of characters, scenes, and environments and creating applications
- Collaborating with your “AI dance partner,” iterating on script, storyboard, and back again
- Picking an output and exploring how the nature of the project determines who you work with
- Dealing with uncertainty in AI systems and how to break through
- Communicating with collaborators through treatments and briefs and going from your concept to a project
Experience Level: Beginners! Previous creative experience in another field (i.e. architecture, design) is helpful but not necessary. Those most interested in narrative and story-telling will get the most out of this workshop. This event is designed explicitly for adults but is fine for all-ages.

Our Approach
Game-Making Practice
It's for everyone! We believe that game design and thinking is not limited to "the video game industry." It's a creative point of view that any discipline can use.
LEARN FROM Doing
Our workshops are focused on activities with a majority of time spent on making things.
this is only the start
You'll grow from here. We hope that this is a stepping stone for you to permanently work with the material of games.
