GDC: The Game

You're actually here. The Gee Dee Cee. You don't know which session to check out first. Unlike your hometown, you're one artist among many here -- exciting and intimidating.

You're actually here. The Gee Dee Cee. You don't know which session to check out first. Unlike your hometown, you're one promoter among many here -- exciting and intimidating.

Exciting because between now and Friday you might be able to put together a game development team with the varied people here, but intimidating because you don't know a soul. Luckily people all have their names printed on their badges, that's one thing you don't have to worry about.

Moscone Center South 2000
Geez, there's a lot of people here. You wish your buddy Jon had come. He had a ton of advice about getting to know people. What was it that he said? You bet you could REMEMBER if you tried.

You can go north to Moscone Center North 2000, east to art session "Lighting With Purpose" and west to the code session "AI Behaviors from Improvisational Actors".

code session "AI Behaviors from Improvisational Actors"
The session was mostly over your head, but not a completely foreign language.

Kevin is texting, a smile on his lips.
With a bit of a bounce in his step, Raigan heads away to code session "AI Behaviors from Improvisational Actors".

Jeffrey looks around for someone, then checks his watch.

talk to jeffrey

What do you want to talk to Jeffrey about?

REMEMBER

[Ziggy]

elmuerte> REMEMBER

What was it that Jon said? You can learn a lot if you EXAMINE folks... that taking a personal INVENTORY helps you keep track of your skills and interests... and when in doubt, GO WEST?

You dunno about that last one, especially since he went on to rant about twisty mazes, but you (perhaps aptly) couldn't follow what he was saying.

But he did have some other helpful stuff to say too, you'd just need to focus to REMEMBER it.

There's something about the way Jeffrey holds himself that makes you think: promoter.

Moscone Center South 2000
You can go north to Moscone Center North 2000, east to art session "Lighting With Purpose" and west to the code session "AI Behaviors from Improvisational Actors".

Kevin stands there, staring at the schedule.
Raigan walks out of a session, looking excited and inspired and chatting to someone about bot movement.
Jeffrey talks to you about micropayments, which he obviously knows nothing about.

Now Jeffrey has dropped in your esteem.
