Jeff Minter, a 25-year game
veteran and indie gaming legend, will keynote the first annual Independent
Games Summit (IGS) hosted by the CMP Game Group March 5-6 as part of the
2007 Game Developers Conference at San Francisco's Moscone Convention
Center.
In his keynote, indie veteran and Llamasoft founder Minter (Tempest
2000, Attack Of The Mutant Camels) will discuss his personal history in the
business, his design philosophy, and his current projects, including Space
Giraffe for Xbox 360 Live Arcade, in an extremely rare North American
appearance for the elusive programmer.
The IGS is a two-day event dedicated to the art and science of
development practices, distribution strategies, and innovative ideas in the
independent gaming community, and includes lectures from major indie
figures from Three Rings, Reflexive Entertainment, Telltale Games, The
Behemoth, Introversion, Valve, ThatGameCompany, NinjaBee, Gamelab, and many
more. You can learn more by checking out
