In this postmortem we will get an insight in to the design and implementation of networking, graphics, world generation and other subsystems of the engine used for the indie game "LOVE". We will discuss the different architectural decisions and how they impact the game. The Love engine was written using some reused code, and also produced reusable code but the engine it self is not intended to be reused. We will discuss the benefits and thoughts around this unconventional approach. Given that the engine is written entirely in C we will talk about how to structure large C projects and some lesser know C techniques like how to make inheriting classes and fool proof APIs. In the later part of the session the speaker will provide a bunch of smaller tips and tricks to make your engine run better and to simplify your development. The session will feature a wide range of live demos and examples.

How do the publishers adapt and succeed in such a landscape? On one hand, what do they see as the lasting trends? On the other, how have their thinking and actions evolved to take these into account? The traditional market of AAA console publishing is a space where publishers have placed fewer and fewer bets as the budgets of AAA console games have escalated to new heights. Are these bets they continue to make - if so, how? The value chain is being redefined as digital distribution gains on retail and new business models are disrupting the industry with free to play. How does a publisher role change to add value to developers on platforms such as the ipad or services such as Steam, PSN or XBLA? How do publishers view the new forms of financing keep emerging - from Kickstarters, to completion bonding and investment funds. Are these competitors or substitutes for traditional publishers? The panel will go through these and other shifts in our industry and how they see one can best seize these opportunities and avoid the threats.

There are a dozen gurus on every street corner, each offering "the way," but we have found our finest results lead from constant experimentation, being willing to be wrong and abandoning tactics that do not work while constantly seeking out and embracing new ideas and initiatives. Let's face it - social media is constantly changing and no one can predict exactly where it is heading. Not even the gurus.

Description: The Long Journey Speaker/s: Robin Hunicke (Tiny Speck) Day / Time / Location: Tuesday 5:30- 6:30 Offenbachsaal, 1st Level Track / Duration / Format / Audience Level: Game Design , Production / 60-Minute / Lecture / All GDC Vault Recording: Video Recorded Description: This talk is a post-mortem for Journey; PSN's fastest-selling downloadable title ever. It will discuss the team's struggle to create meaningful social gameplay on a console, without relying on traditional co-op mechanics, voice or text chat. Our thesis during development was that a commitment to "the feeling" throughout production, while sometimes frustrating and occasionally costly, would be worth it in the end. We believed that our willingness to embrace the unknown would positively shape the game - even though it might create chaos in our schedule. Journey took 3 years to make - double the original goal. Were we right to keep pushing? Is "the feeling" really there? This talk will take an honest inventory of feedback on the game (positive and negative), evaluate our approach and share lessons learned as a result of Journey's creation.

Description: Small Teams, Big Problems - How to Produce Sustainable Agile Development for Growing Teams Speaker/s: Mary Casey (Mediatonic) Day / Time / Location: Monday 1:00- 1:25 Congress Saal 1, 4th Level Track / Duration / Format / Audience Level: Production / 25-Minute / Lecture / Intermediate GDC Vault Recording: Video Recorded Description: Over the last five years our industry has changed immensely, with a palatable power shift from tightly produced, large budget console games, over to the rapid, agile, self organised, small team development of social/mobile titles. Far from finding themselves out in the cold with these small teams, more and more producers are seemingly drawn into the rapidly changing digital landscape of casual, mobile, social gaming and away from the juggernaught of AAA development. Many will find that a background of AAA large studio development may not fully prepare them for the unique challenges that this new fast paced frontier will hold. Conversely some studios may struggle with culture shock when introducing experienced producers and their processes from traditional games to their teams. During this session Mary will discuss the professional & personal journey that needs to be taken in order to make a successful leap from AAA to indie development and how this should be reflected in your choice of project management techniques and process design as you take your new team on a journey towards flexible, sustainable Agile production, for any sized development.

Its single-player campaign was also much better than any movie tie-in deserved to have. 15 years after GoldenEye 007 first hit stores, its director Martin Hollis shares how his team created the biggest release for the N64 without Mario in its title, and how what started as a Virtua Cop-style on-rails project became the legendary FPS that paved the way for console shooters like Halo and countless others.
