Panel Discussions
There are at least two panels that are great for the indie game developer audience. Check out both while at PAX!
Breaking into the Game Industry the Educated Way
Friday, September 4th at 1:00pm - 2:00pm in the Raven Theatre (Tentatively Scheduled)
Computer and video gaming industries have grown from niche markets to mainstream. Top studios seek top talent to make their multi-million dollar games. Colleges are picking up on this trend – even major universities have begun offering game design programs and degrees. What should you expect to get from this education? How can any curriculum keep up with the breakneck pace gaming technology is advancing? Educators and professionals discuss the real world value of a game degree.
What is an ‘Indie Game’?
Saturday, September 5th at 3:00pm - 4:00pm in the Wolfman Theatre (Tentatively Scheduled)
The rise in game platforms and distribution mechanisms has elevated the cultural profile of indie games. But along with this increased attention is an increasing debate about how to break through in the market. What really makes an indie title? Is it the game’s budget, art style, community outreach, or their distribution mechanism that really makes indies soar? This panel will examine the success stories within the indie gaming community to begin to expand and educate developers and gamers about this in-demand space.
