I miss the Game Developer’s Conference. Haven’t been there since 2007, the year when Computer Games Magazine was shuttered the day after the conference closed. It’s one of my favorites because, for me at least, the attention is on the art and craft of making a game. If I could write any book, it would be to follow a game from conception to release, but since that will never be done, watching and reading about GDC panels is a decent second choice.

My old friend Tom Chick moderated a panel on the future of strategy games this year, so that would have been fun to go to. There is a brief summary here at Gamasutra and a pretty decent discussion about the AI comments here on Quarter to Three.

Once video or audio become available, I’ll link to it.
