Matthew Buxton 🔜 GDC

For an industry trying to make sense of a number of conflicting signals, #GDC2024 served as a temperature check.

To fully comprehend the event and its implications for the future, we interviewed  a number of leaders at various points in their gaming industry journey: Melissa Phillips of the Games Leadership Network, Marnix Licht of Enchanted Works; Emily Yim of Superbloom, Derek Reese of Chronicler Software; Shawn Foust of Fortis Games; Matthew Buxton 🔜 GDC of MYSTiC GAMES; Åke André 🔜 GDC of Crypto Rogue Games AB; Mike Sherak of Virtuos, Parker Heath of Avalanche, and Ashwin Shekhar of AVOW.

📽 Watch our GDC Recap video below 🔽 and 📖 read more of their insights here: https://lnkd.in/g_jHdqt8

Their insights revealed several common themes, including the growing impact of AI on game development, challenges and opportunities for indie developers, shifts in business models and funding, the future of gaming and the role of emerging technologies, and the importance of industry events like GDC.

And let us know what you saw and heard at GDC!
