Archive: 18-25th November 2008: Montreal International Game Summit 2008 / Gamasutra
The Montreal International Game Summit has been and gone for another year, and my session coverage has all been published on Gamasutra (though as usual, any interviews or other coverage that I’ve done will take longer to arrive.)
I really like MIGS – not only is it fairly close and in a city I rather like, it’s a nice size and generally a friendly and interesting conference to be at. I’ll be honest and say that this year, perhaps, wasn’t quite as brilliant as the previous two (but maybe they were unusually good.) Still, I’m pleased to see the sessions I wrote up were well received. In particular I’d recommend Jonathan Blow’s keynote – there’s certainly a lot to think about there.
