GDC 2010

I’ll be posting from the Game Developers Conference this week. Things are just kicking off today. Things on my radar:

• Serious Games Summit as it overlaps well with newsPlay and democratized media topics.
• Soren Johnson keynote as the discussion of meaning emerging from rules rather than theme is an important topic for anyone interested in newsgames.
• Some of the social games talks (especially interested in the Zynga talk for lots of reasons, including that crazy Haiti charity story. I really want to see who’s steering that ship).
• Some of the games writing sessions as I’m always interested in how creative writing can apply to explanatory style.
