Best of GDC 2006

Posted by Zonk on Tue Apr 18, 2006 04:54 PM
from the thing-that-happened-last-month dept.
Gamasutra has their weekly industry response column up, and this one deals with the best moments at this year's Game Developer's Conference. From the article: "I found one session particularly inspiring. It was refreshing to hear the speaker talk about the inspirations behind his product. Most inspiring, though, was the way he talked about the ideological goals he specifically wanted to express with it, that he had something larger about the world he wanted to show through his entertainment. Unfortunately and unsurprisingly, that speaker had nothing to do with the game industry - it was Ron Moore at his Battlestar Galactica keynote. -Borut Pfeifer, Sony Online Entertainment"

[+] GDC - Ron Moore Keynote 180 comments
Ronald Moore may have done a lot for the Trek series of shows, but recently he's been making new fans with his work on the Battlestar Galactica title. He was invited to speak at GDC to relate ways in which intelligent folks can adapt an existing franchise. He focused on not only adapting and improving the original, but maintaining the core goodness of the inspiring work. Read on for notes from his talk. Update: 03/22 22:11 GMT by Z : Fixed Adama/Psylon spellings. I need a nerd-friendly spellchecker.

    Seriously. Not news. All the orgasms over the Ron Moore speech have long since climaxed - like in the week of the conference or the week after, latest.

    Well, we can eliminate George Broussard [slashdot.org].

    Gimme a minute to sift through this and translate to English, and maybe I can come up with a decent reply.

    This article is like all those bland VH1 shows where C-list celebrities remember stuff. "I Love the 80s," "I Love the 70s," "I Love Ten Minutes Ago," etc. Only, the article lacks attempted observational humor and ironic hairstyles.
