My 1st GDC, my 1st SF trip.
Day 1
Welcome to GDC!!
Ron Carmel showed us the cost of making World of Goo: 116,000 USD
Jonatan Soderstrom(Cactus Software)'s ways of being creative
Petri Purho, the designer of Crayon Physics Deluxe
SONY's unfinished stage
KWS's booth!!
Day 2
A lot of GDC goods were available here!!
One slide of a serious game lecture with regard to Spore......
When first seeing these giant banners, we didn't expect the Dish Washington people could be that nice...
Seemingly DSi was the only new thing Nintendo presented in the Expo
A very interesting pervasive game lecture, though not many people attended
KWS postmortem
Day 3
I woke up at 6am, went some wrong way, finally arrived at Moscone South by around 7:15am, and just found out that I was actually No.3 in the line for the Nintendo President's keynote...
8:25am. The line was over the corner of the street...
Thank you Mr. Iwata, for the free Rhythm Heaven and the trailer of a new Zelda game!
With Hideo Kojima, my hero!!!
KWS mentioned in the IGF award ceremony
This guy made a bet to Kyle Gabler(one of the makers of World of Goo), saying that if he could get 2 awards in IGF, he would put off his shirt. So...
Day 4
9:45am. The line for Kojima's keynote was not as impressive as the Nintendo one...
When the keynote was about to begin, I just realized the lecture hall was already over-crowded by people.
Kojima's keynote was in Japanese, while translated almost real-time in English.
Metal Gear series's visualized history
The Expo attracted a lot of people
With Yoshiaki Hirabayashi, Art Director of Resident Evil 5
Day 5
Technical Artists Roundtable, which was kinda too difficult to me, for now
nVidia's Mental Mill in the making of Dead Rising2 -- what I was really interested in was Dead Rising2, not that graphic technology.
PSP givaway in SCEA booth. No luck for me this time, again.
Almost everything in this game was made of clay
When the expo was over, I actually succeeded in putting Kid into this little space ship...
It was said that this Sony Style shop was to be shut down forever... so sad...
