Elsewhere, legendary composer David Wise will discuss his 30-year career in video games music, and Martin Korda, who has written for the likes of Destiny 2, FIFA 18: The Journey, and Fable: The Journey, will offer advice for budding writers.
Outside of talks, the show will host a business networking event, Minecraft workshops, a live-action role-playing game called The Displaced, comedy gameshow Wifi Wars, and more. There's a full programme of events over on the official Yorkshire Games Festival website.
