The game industry event brings back GDC Play, the Classic Game Postmortem series and marks an end to the Game Design Challenge.
Finally, GDC Play returns after a successful debut last year with an open exhibition space in Moscone South from Tuesday to Thursday featuring more than 85 emerging game developers. GDC Play provides an opportunity for creators to spotlight their games and connect with leading distributors, publishers, press and investors attending the conference.
“As we approach GDC 2013, we’re thrilled the conference continues to provide the backdrop for developers to share ideas and perfect their craft.” says Meggan Scavio, general manager of the Game Developers Conference. “The return of popular content and the ending of an era for the Game Design Challenge is a reflection of our efforts to adapt to an evolving industry and make room for fresh ideas. It’s important for this event to progress with emerging trends; the expanding involvement of attendees and industry professionals speak volumes to the impact and influence this conference has on the digital entertainment industry.”
