Description: Games as Product: Producing Better Games

One of the key global trends in game development, whether developing an MMORPG for the PC or a next generation console title, is that production costs are expanding exponentially. Games require higher budgets and personnel commitments' compounded by the scarcity of talent, putting revenue farther down the timeline. IP licensing costs are increasing, and competition is on the rise.

This production complexity is pushing global publishers to setup studios in China and outsource to China. At the same time, Chinese studios are experiencing this complexity through developing their own MMORPGs, a genre that tests every limit of game production. This panel addresses all of these issues, and the challenges faced in realizing these goals.

Description: Listen! The Potential of Shared Hallucinations

Brian Moriarty

Many of the games being offered online nowadays are shovelware: single-player designs retrofitted with a clunky multiplayer option, usually at the last minute and reluctantly. These games don't explore the unique possibilities of the online medium. They don't respond adequately to the presence of the many. They don't evolve with their audience, or allow them to participate creatively. They don't listen. This lecture focuses a psychedelic kaleidoscope on the horizon of the possible. Pulsing, ethereal music and sinuous visual effects combine to lull the audience into a state of receptive bliss, accompanied by a cunning stream of off-the-wall concepts, strange suggestions and daring propositions. Assumptions are challenged! Sacred cows dance and fall exhausted! Everyone leaves thinking they thought up all these great ideas themselves!

Description: The Secret of Eternal (Product) Life: Lessons from J.R.R. Tolkien and John Madden

Ernest Adams

Some games hit the market the way the Titanic hit an iceberg: a crunch, a big sucking sound, and then nothing. Others float around for years and years like one of Robinson Crusoe's bottles. Why is that? What have they got that keeps them coming back every year? It's not just "quality" or "marketing development funds," but a secret combination of 11 herbs and spices. This session tries to reverse engineer two great entertainment products, the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, and the best-selling sports video game of all time, John Madden Football, to figure out the secret of eternal (product) life.
