On Monday, the first day of the Austin Game Developers Conference, I kept wondering, “How many of these people registered before the recent Austin game company layoffs?” Bad news at NCSoft and Midway Austin notwithstanding, GDC so far feels like a gathering for an industry that’s still expanding despite the current national economic panic. Merrill Lynch sold? Sorry, we’re busy creating a playable demo for our Xbox 360 game. It’s not defiance, exactly, but maybe an optimism rooted in knowing that video games are still a young, vibrant medium with a future. (Contrast this with any journalism conference with a large contingent of print journalists. It’s like they’re on two different planets.) I haven’t covered GDC very extensively in the past because it always felt to me like an insiders’ conference for talking shop. This year, however, the schedule reflects gaming’s increasing shift to the mainstream. Panels are focusing much more on the user experience, on social networks, on casual games and games that appear on cell phones and sites like Facebook and MySpace. There are still very serious discussions about narrative and storytelling (a session I attended featuring Paul Marino and Mac Walters of BioWare talked about the challenges of creating decent stories in huge games like their “Mass Effect.).

After becoming irritated about putting in a lot of work to prepare talks for conferences, and then for all that work to promptly vanish into the ether once my hour is up, I resolved to do something about it. I’ve bought a reasonably good microphone and have started recording the talks that I give to [...] ... Source: gnews.ageofgamers.com --- 41 days ago

Well here we are, day 2 of Austin’s GDC, again that’s Game Developer’s Conference. once again I began the morning bright and early with a wake-up call of 7:00am.

Some interesting tidbits about both free to play and subscription MMOGs coming out of the talks at Austin GDC. Min Kim of Nexon says: Not just a Korean thing: “South Korea is still a big market for us,” Kim admits, “but the split is now 50/50 with overseas markets,” which includes the Asian and U.S. markets. On growth [...] ... Source: freetoplay.biz --- 31 days ago

This week's Austin Game Developers Conference (organized by Think Services, which also created this website - I helped AGDC out by helping pick the IGF Showcase winners and some Worlds In Motion Summit content) was the first that I'd attended, somewhat surprisingly. So it was a great opportunity for me to take a look at the state of online games in 2008 -- as well as the other diverse submarkets that AGDC services, spanning writing ... ...

[We've posted a couple of write-ups here on GSW already, but mainly not so much - so here's the full list of Gamasutra write-ups from the still in-progress AGDC . Apologies in advance if coverage gets a bit AGDC-heavy for the next couple of days, but it's mainly cos we don't have time to write anything else, and, heck, it's our conference and we'll cry if we want to.] Big sister site Gamasutra is at Austin GDC 2008 this week, and we've compiled the best of our industry-leading coverage of the major MMO, virtual world writing, and audio lectures presented thus far. AGDC, which is organized by Gamasutra parent Think Services, is taking place in the Austin Convention Center from Monday 15th-Wednesday 17th September, and multiple Gamasutra reporters are on hand to document many of the lectures and panels taking place there.
