I was even planning on going to this, shame my schedule is much too busy.
I could really use a vacation.
I'm so pissed I get to miss GDC this year, I'm still working on my RPG Engine to present at the GDC one year.
I love the indie scene and I want to get into it so bad! Unfortunately I missed the boat this year, but hopefully next year I will plan ahead.
I just hope someone at GDC asks at the Halo Wars panel, "At what point did you figure it would be a good idea to ever release an RTS on the console? Especially one without hot keys."
Unfortunately 2 grand for a pass is a little expensive for me.
There are better value passes, and well if you work for a website it is possible to get an "all-access" media pass.
And for the rest of us mere mortals.... 2 grand. Especially if we want to go to any of the cool seminars.
I agree it is prohibitively expensive for most. It is perfect if you are fresh out of school, have a strong portfolio of projects (and mods), and are actively looking for work. Then for the cost of a floor pass, you can line up interviews with all the biggest game development companies and hopefully get your foot in the door.
or we can say we are all moddb interviewers :3
cant go, to expensive + its around the world for me :p
I won't be there this year, maybe next time.
If you volunteer as a CA the whole thing is Free.
CA? whats that?
Calcium 8)
I'll be there as part of my GDC Student Scholarship. I'm super excited :)
Wolfire will be there
I wish I could go... I could really use a vacation...
