I attended the all day event on April 17th, which included guest speakers from 3G Studios, Sandia National Laboratories and UC Santa Cruz.
James Kosta gave an very informative presentation on how 3G Studios develops games. Their development team doesn't stick with one audience, they in fact go the direction that they believe produces the most profit - i.e. moving to a Wii fitness game from a PC/Console WWII FPS.
Donna Djordjevich gave an overview of the training scenario game the DHS wants to use in place of tabletop games. This game scenario presented had a toxic airborne substance, and such issues that would arise in the game would be how to allocate resources and where to place command structures.
Michael Mateas from UC Santa Cruz discussed previous projects of his, including a game called Facade. Facade was a first person view of a person visiting an old friend of his and his wife. As the night goes on their dialog and the player's create different scenarios.
