Austin GDC
Posted On Saturday, September 13th, 2008 By Jay
I’m really excited to be heading out to Austin GDC! There are so many great talks scheduled! So many, companies will be present, everything I could want!
What I’m super excited about is to talk some shop with other devs. There are quite a few new and exciting MMOs being released, Agency, Metaplace and other more mainstream released I won’t bother naming.
As for game design, MMOs have nailed the player retention issue we in the console land struggle for. On consoles, most games fail if there isn’t a form of multiplayer coop. With the high turn around and sea of available titles to play, many gamers don’t stick to one genre, let alone a specific game.
I’ll be attending many talk relating player retention. I’ll post high level take aways on my return! Until then, keep PVP alive and well!
