Participation in GDC (Game Developers Conference) 2016
2016 遊戲開發者大會(GDC)活動參訪 ![]() In the past, there had rarely been any occasion for game developers to exchange information regarding game development and technology in Taiwan. Indie game development teams often don't have the chance to participate in game development forums overseas. Thus, since 2011, the ARF has been sending representatives to the annual GDC, and they have been sharing their feedback and exchanging related information with indie game developers in Taiwan. GDC 2016 was held in San Francisco from March 14 to 18. The conference focused on sharing experience in game development, and explanation of new trends and technologies. This year, the first Virtual Reality Developers Conference was held alongside GDC, allowing developers to explore ways to design better VR contents. ![]() The Experimental Gameplay Workshop held on the 5th day of GDC 2016 had traditionally been the most important GDC event for developers to submit their games. The workshop invites submissions that are experimental and aims to ignite creativity through unbridled imagination. To share information on GDC 2016, the ARF sponsored the Taiwan chapter of the International Game Developers Association to hold a meeting in association with Institute for Information Industry on May 7, 2016, to allow those who attended GDC 2016 to share their experience with other developers in Taiwan to understand more about the international event. |
