CEDEC has kindly invited me to speak, and I will be saying something along these lines:

The New Gaming Landscape

The games industry is under attack, and in response it is evolving rapidly. In every part of the world, the evolution has been in different directions. This talk will cover the major business trends driving change (rising costs, team sizes, online connectivity, and the rise of the Web  versus closed platforms). We will discuss some of the changes happening from a design perspective, such as art games, serious games, online games, user-created content, web games, and so on. The goal will be to have a better understanding of both the changing landscape and the sorts of game design that we must explore in order to take part in the new global industry.

This is my first time ever in Japan… I am really looking forward to it.

    All that time with Sony and no visit to the motherland? How unfortunate.

    so you can pop into Digra as well?
    NB: There are regional train passes for foreigners that I’d recommend especially if you want to see the spectacular temples of Kyoto and Nara.
