Upcoming Conference Engagements
December 15th, 2008
I’ve been asked to explain some of my recent actions.
At two conferences in early ‘09 I will be sharing my side of Braid’s development process.
Animex - February 2-6, 2009, Middlesbrough, UK.
Game Developers Conference - March 23-27, 2009, San Francisco, CA.
I’ll let you know when I have more specific times.
Surprisingly, my session is one of three highlighted in GDC’s Visual Arts track. In a recent entry to her Bosslady Blog, Meggan Scavio wrote: “One of the highlights, and a session I’ll be in for sure, is ‘The Art of Braid’, presented by David Hellman. Braid was a two-man show. Jon Blow, the man behind the Experimental Gameplay Sessions at GDC, among other things, designed it, and David Hellman made it really freaking pretty. Everything Jon touches has multiple layers and deeper meanings, and it will be really interesting to hear (and see!) how David visually translated Jon’s philosophies.”
It might be wise for me to do one or two practice lectures in small venues, perhaps in January. If anyone knows of an opportunity of that sort near San Francisco, feel free to get in touch: davidlesson … “at” … gmail.com.

Do you know if either of these talks will be recorded? I am far away from both engagements but still want to hear what you have to say.

GDC always records everything. Not sure about Animex. But I would like to have the recordings and offer them here, so I’ll let you know.

Cool, that was my question too.
