The Q.E.Y.S.
A few weeks ago I finally got off my ass and uploaded the slides from my short lecture at GDC 08. Yes that was many months ago, but better late than never. I really appreciate all the interest in getting a copy of the slides from those of you who asked and I’m sorry it took me so long to share them publicly.
Here is a link to the slides on the GDC site itself. They are in PDF format for general consumption. I tend to keep my slides simple and clear and they really only act as a framework for the talk. So if you didn’t attend or listen to the audio you may not get much from them alone. Though I did reveal the slide notes in the PDF to provide some help.
The real reason I’m posting these slides though, is that I never got a winner for the “mini-game” that I had embedded in my slides. Forget the content of the slides, have fun just trying to figure out the answer to the mini-game! Each of the “10 Keys” had an image of a key from a different famous game throughout gaming history. The first one to send me an email with the correct names of all ten games will win a free copy of a Tomb Raider game of their choice! I think Morgan Gray was the one who has gotten the farthest with 6 out of 10 correct answers which he figured out during the actual lecture. Go Morgan!
Hope you have fun figuring out the keys and GDC 09 is right around the corner!
P.S. So is the IGDA Leadership Forum. Check for them…
