Speaker/s: Yoshio Sakamoto (Nintendo)
Day / Time / Location: Thursday 10:30-11:30 Room 135, North Hall
Track / Format: Game Design / Lecture
Description: Yoshio Sakamoto has been here from the start. In 1982 he joined Nintendo a year before the arrival of the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) in Japan. He's worked as a developer for the entire history of the modern video game era, and is perhaps most noted for the Metroid franchise. However, his development credits span a wide range of projects, with titles as diverse as WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$ and Rhythm Heaven. At times he and his teams juggled these projects simultaneously.

Last year, while hard at work on the upcoming Metroid title for the Wii system, titled Metroid: Other M, he also produced the Nintendo DS hit Tomodachi Collection. In this game Mii characters converse, sing and dance, and even dream. To date, it has sold more than 2.5 million copies in Japan. In an industry that frequently draws a bold line between core and casual games, Mr. Sakamoto develops for both worlds. He challenges himself and his teams to find ways to satisfy every type of user, no matter what type of taste, or level of experience.

At GDC, Mr. Sakamoto will talk about his thought processes and techniques on game designs that have allowed him to find market acceptance for his expansive portfolio of titles.

Description: Meet the Newest Chinese Import/Export Business: Social Games!
Speaker/s: James Gwertzman (PopCap Games, Inc.)
Day / Time / Location: Tuesday 3:30- 4:00 Room 130, North Hall
Track / Format: Social & Online Games Summit / Lecture
Description: For years, game developers in China and the US seemed to be speaking two different languages (literally!). Top games in China were online, intensely social, based on a free-to-play micro-transaction model, and had low budgets and low production value. Top games in North America, by comparison, were single-player, often console-based, with vast budgets and awesome production values.

Enter Facebook. Which business model seems more relevant now? The tables are turned. Instead of Chinese game developers studying the US market to learn all about production values, smart western game developers are studying the Chinese market to learn as much as they can about succeeding in this new world of micro-transactions -- and some are even trying to enter China themselves, either to acquire talent or to try and tap the vast Chinese market. 1 billion social gamers?

PopCap has had an office in Shanghai for over 2 years, and has experienced both the opportunities and challenges of doing business in China firsthand. Attend this talk for a rapid fire briefing on everything you need to know about online & social gaming in China, direct from PopCap's head of Asia/Pacific operations. Topics will include what's hot in Chinese online and social games, which companies to watch, how to enter the Chinese market, how NOT to enter the Chinese market, how to leverage low-cost Chinese talent, and more.

Speaker/s: Jonatan (Cactus) Soderstrom (Cactus Software)
Day / Time / Location: Tuesday 10:30-11:00 Room 135, North Hall
Track / Format: Independent Games Summit / Lecture
Description: Jonatan Cactus Soderstrom is going to talk about designing games to punish and abuse the people who play them, and why anyone would want to do that. What's the benefit of generating visuals that are ugly, confusing or just plain hard to look at? How do you get away with making a game so difficult or illogical that it will frustrate and anger those who play it? A lot of developers are afraid of doing these things unintentionally, but with some clever designing these flaws can sometimes be turned into strengths.

Topics to be discussed include the use of focus groups to improve audience calibration, initial design workshops, cognitive task analysis for training games, and paper based game design as a mean of prototyping.

Description: The Complex Challenges of Intuitive Design
Speaker/s: Josh Atkins (Microsoft Games Studio) and Peter Molyneux (Lionhead Studios)
Day / Time / Location: Thursday 9:00-10:00 Room 134, North Hall
Track / Format: Game Design / Lecture
Description: Lionhead Studios, like all other games developers, wants as many people as possible to enjoy playing their games. This means broadening the appeal of video games to encompass the casual gamer while, of course, not alienating the core gamer. Most developers are in agreement that the key to achieving this goal is to make games more accessible, while avoiding the dreaded 'dumbing down'.

Peter Molyneux will be demonstrating the approach that Lionhead are taking to this conundrum with an intuitive design approach that ensures that gamers of all abilities can quickly and easily immerse themselves in the game world. In particular Peter will challenge the validity of one long established game mechanic which Lionhead intends to replace with a more user friendly and modern iteration. This talk will be backed up with examples showing the progress of work (and the thought processes behind it) which Lionhead are undertaking in this area for Fable III.
