Nobuo Uematsu is one of the greatest composers of all time. His work made an entire generation fall in love with music, and inspired countless people, like myself, to become musicians. We had a short chat, and I was grateful to hear that, even after all this time, he's still on that same mission

if this is gonna happen in under a month to every multiplayer game that has almost a decade in the oven then at the very least it should just be open sourced and left to the laid off devs to do whatever with. literally the least you can do

I may delete this because it’s a bit spicy but it shouldn’t be lost on us that games being turned into TV is essentially harvesting the stories written by those who don’t have union representation or healthcare with WGA by those that do. Our stories are good enough for TV but the writers aren’t?

After careful discussion, we have added this additional provision to our session description. We're also thrilled to welcome the incredible @samwinkler.bsky.social to our all-star lineup of reviewers! So if you're a writer coming to GDC, bring your genuine, human-written materials!

As a game writer or narrative designer, your portfolio is one of the most critical tools for getting hired... So bring yours here! Whether you're an industry hopeful or a veteran writer or narrative designer looking to spruce up your samples, this portfolio workshop will provide individualized feedback on your materials from Senior and Lead-level narrative industry peers. Please bring either a printed copy of your portfolio or have it digitally accessible via your laptop or tablet. As you will be meeting 1:1 with a reviewer, spots are very limited and will be assigned on a first-come first-serve basis.

Please be aware we will not review samples produced by or with AI. Our reviewers are additionally allowed to use their personal discretion for declining samples if found to be in violation of this policy.
