Identifying the PAX Australia Storytime Orator

Esteemed video game designer Julian Wilton, the visionary behind Massive Monster, will grace the stage as the PAX Australia 2024 Storytime Orator. Remarkably, Julian had already pioneered and marketed his initial console game at the tender age of 17. The streak of success did not wane as he crafted games to financially support his design studies in college. Teaming up with two companions, Julian launched Massive Monster in 2016.

Massive Monster has since amassed an impressive portfolio of over fifty stellar gaming titles, most notably the 2022 global sensation and multiple award recipient, Cult of the Lamb. The Australian Indie Showcase favorite, Adventure Pals, is another feather in their cap. Julian’s narrative at the Storytime session will signal the start of PAX Australia 2024 in the principal theater on Friday, October 11. Audiences can anticipate insights into his game development odyssey, the triumphs of Massive Monster, and the behind-the-scenes scoop on sealing a major deal with Devolver Digital.
