Frictional Games Forum (read-only)

Just got back from GDC Europe, so wrote a little summary of the trip and the talk I gave.

Excellent; now that you're used to it, you can prepare for many more speeches.

Hah, it's to be expected that giving a speech like that will make you nervous. A few years ago I was picked to give a speech to my school on diversity, and I really was regretting the decision to accept that speech the night before I gave it. Then I gave it, and felt a lot better for braving it afterwards.

Most probably we won't have a video, right? I think GDC only shows videos to members. Maybe you guys attending filmed something. I'm interested in some things that you talked about and so a video or at least text would be helpful.

Can hope GDC puts it up as a free clip!

We'll see. If they do please post a link here because most I will forget to check for videos there.

While we wait: There is a bunch of free videos in the GDC Vault, among them a postmortem of that great gem of the Amiga era called Another World.
Really nice and inspiring presentation.

>>> Initiate teleportation sequence.
(try refreshing if the player gets messed up...)


There's also a video on The Humble Indie Bundle, but I didn't see it yet.

Anyway, there's a lot of stuff, go check it out.

Couldn't find Thomas in there (yet), but if someone manages to do so... well, you know what to do.

It was a good watch for me. Although my listening skills are not great, I clearly understand every word of Thomas.

oh great!!! I'm going to watch that now! Thx Tan...

EDIT: It was great. I loved the multitasking thing (the cat video) and also the crazy reaction one. I hadn't watched this video before. I also noticed lots of references from older blogspots since I recently started reading some story-related ones. Great work, way to go Thomas!

Much appreciated, watching it now.

EDIT: Woops, spelling mistake in MultiTasking. :>
It's very enjoyable and interesting to watch though.

Also, unrelated, it's pretty funny how the host pops in the view at the end 'Any other questions?'
