Featured Session Highlights

AI Summit: Reconnecting America: The 'Death Stranding' AI Postmortem

Programming
Eric Johnson - AI Programmer - Kojima Productions
In a new studio, working on a new IP, using a new engine, and with a short deadline, the AI team at Kojima Productions was tasked with creating characters that could fit seamlessly into the Iceland-inspired post-apocalyptic wasteland of the United States. This talk explores the unique challenges in building characters that can realistically exist and move through a world where the environment is unapologetically unforgiving. Learn how the team survived and overcame the world's worst navmesh, maze-like cliffs, terraces and ravines stretching hundreds of meters, player-placed navigable objects such as bridges, ladders, vehicles and more.

Development of 'Borderlands 3': Airing the Dirty Laundry

Production & Team Management
Paul Sage - Creative Director &
Chris Brock - Senior Producer - Gearbox Software
Come sit in on a post-mortem for a AAA title where the kid gloves come off and we have a frank discussion about the pitfalls of AAA development. This isn't going to be pretty and you should expect a level of transparency not often found in public speaking affairs. We will cover the very real problems we experienced and the tools we used to overcome morale issues, team expectation issues, and making a fun game while hitting our date. (Okay, we missed once.) Feel the pressure of making the next Borderlands game and enjoy the constant question of "now that the looter shooter genre has changed, how are you going to do everything differently while not changing anything?"

Check Out GDC Narrative Wall Twine Games
If you attended GDC in San Francisco this year you might have noticed a few of your fellow game makers chatting near the GDC Narrative Wall, a wall covered in writing prompts where attendees were invited to contribute to a collaborative storytelling project. Those contributions were collected after the show and combined to create three separate Twine games, each telling a unique, vibrant tale of love, loss, and adventure. Now, organizers are proud to publish it online for everyone to play and enjoy!
