Austin Game Conference 2006 - Brave
New Worlds
Today is a remarkable time to build
online games. It's a time of exploration, experimentation, and
entrepreneurship. But new frontiers bring both opportunities and
challenges. Consider:
Virtual worlds have grown into cultural
relevance, part of mainstream life for millions of people worldwide. Now
they are asking "What's next?" This undefined, undiscovered country has
attracted an unsettling horde of independent developers, many bringing
unconventional ideas and different perspectives to old problems. From
the most unlikely places, we are beginning to see new designs, new
gameplay, new tech, new business models, and new demographics. These
brave new worlds lie open before all of us. How will we make our mark?
