The Conference

This past March, 30,000 people went to San Francisco for the annual Game Developers Conference. Going since 1988, GDC, brings together people from all corners of the game development community. The Fourth Curtain followed four different journeys intersecting this conference. The First Timer: Aaron has never gone to GDC and it terrified him. The Seasoned Pro: Patrick Curry, game studio founder on how he grew up at the conference and how it changed him. The Founder: Chris Crawford on why he started the conference and how it ultimately drove him from the industry. The Indie: Geometric Interactive, their award nominated game Cocoon goes to GDC and they come back with something better than trophies.
