The GC Developers Conference (GCDC) today announced that Tim Schafer, President and CEO of Double Fine Productions, is giving a keynote speech on the subject of Creativity and Games at this year's event. Tim Schafer played a significant role in the development of LucasArts’ classic games including Full Throttle and Monkey Island 1 & 2. At GCDC 2007, Europe's leading developer conference (August 20-22), he will be speaking for the first time in Europe.

During his time at LucasArts, initially as game designer and later as head adventure programmer, he notched successes with cult games such as Day of the Tentacle and Grim Fandango. In 2000, Schafer founded the development studio Double Fine Productions, whose very first game, the action adventure Psychonauts, for PC, Xbox and Play-Station 2, went on to become an award-winning hit. At GCDC 2007 his keynote will be dedicated to the challenges and methods of interjecting creativity into modern game design. Find out more at www.gcdc.eu .
