GDC 2009 March 23-27

Rob Galanakis

After the dismal Polycount failure that was GDC08, I want to know who is going to come out for GDC09- I know attendance will be less than last year because the economy sucks, but I want to know who will be there.

Oh and the real reason I made this thread is because I'm on a panel this year:

I want to see you there! And tell Adam to give me PC stuff to give away.

Sweet, I was looking earlier and didn't see alot of art related stuff this year, and decided to spend the cash on Siggraph this year.

You are going to get MUCH more practical knowledge from GDC than you do from SIGGRAPH. GDC is far less technical and much more production-centric in its topics (SIGGRAPH is awesome, but in a different way).

Tumerboy

ya, I'm planning on going, but don't know what day yet (I'll just drive up for one day most likely)

I'll let you guys know as it gets closer.

pior

I'll be there.

Cool Rob, I see two polycounter's in that panel.

flaagan

Got no reason to attend since I'm not aware of anything fx-related, but as always, I'm in the south bay so if anyone's got some free time drop me a line!

Jeff Parrott

I'll be there. www.retrogradegame.com is up for Design, Audio, and I think Audience awards at IGF! So I'll definitely be there supporting that.

sicsided

I'll be there, first time going, might be helping out with a booth also. Depends on how things pan out. Either way, I only have enough for expo pass, but that hasn't stopped people before I hear from the whole thing.

Xenobond

Ahh, cool news Rob!
Hah! Jeff Hanna used to be our Senior Tech Artist at Mythic.


I would love to go, I just need to find out how. :S

I want to get more out of GDC this year than I did in 08!

I really wanted to go this year, but my first kid is due in 3 weeks. Not a great time to be across the country.

Tumerboy

pffft, you can come and have 2 weeks to spare! (kids are always born on the due date. Or so I hear)
