This Wednesday roundtable was meant to be in two rooms, sadly, we got only one. However, a lot of discussion was had, and I got 3 pages of notes from it. These notes are somewhat hard to follow, but are pretty much in linear order of what came up. For some [...]
I made a video of this years Game Developers Rant on my camera, and have finally uploaded it now - it’s certainly got some more visual elements you won’t get from a writeup!
Eager crowd…

Friday - finally perhaps? The last day had a lot going on, and was really interesting.

Tuesday was pretty great - I had the opportunity to go to a game development studio (something I am glad I did do!) and saw some stuff later in the day (Click more for report with pictures)
