Game Developers Conference 2010

March 16, 2010

Thousands of game creators descended on San Francisco for the yearly Game Developers Conference this March. Included were three from the Innovative Learning Solutions development team. Insights and learning were sought within a week full of courses, panels, tutorials, and keynotes from industry insiders. The conference also featured a packed expo floor full of next generation tools. The panels covered everything from writing, prototyping, design, art, and generally everything that goes into a game or simulation.

The Serious Game Summit had panels with more of an e-learning focus. Much useful and insightful information was gleaned, which we will start implementing in future installments of our simulations. Stay tuned!
