LOS ANGELES, Calif. August 15 - New sessions were announced for November's Game Developers Conference Next, including NBC Universal , Disruptor Beam, and SC2 personality Sean "Day[9]" Plott.
GDC Next will be hosted at the Los Angeles Convention Center from November 5-7 later this year. The event will suitably focus on the future of gaming, or what's "next".
On the list for what's on the horizon are story-driven social games (and upcoming mobile) based on popular IPs like Game of Thrones, according to Boston-based studio Disruptor Beam. CEO Jon Radoff and lead designer of the studio's Game of Thrones: Ascent Tim Crosby will discuss how they managed to produce "engaging and steady content with low player acquisition costs for the "high-profile licensed title".
Given the growing popularity of eSports, Day[9] will explain how to design games with spectators in mind. The eSports caster, content producer and notable personality will explain the elements on what makes a game as entertaining to watch as it is to play so that developers can create communities that can stream Esports events.
NBC Universal's director of Universal Games Network Matt Dominianni will examine how Interactive TV second-screen games can change TV content in his talk titled, "2nd Screen Games: innovation from the Broadcast TV Industry?". Included in his discussion will be references to USA Network's Psych: Find the Famous Pineapple and Bravo's Watch What Happens Live: Play Along.
