Day 1 of GDC is done! Did my first talk and got a lot of great responses. Met some really cool people, so if you're a new follower, welcome! I'll try to post more. :)

Utility talk is tomorrow first thing in the morning!

@unormal I had a student freak out at a failing grade because "I'm 19, I'll be too old to start a career".

[Rez Graham @rezibot]

@BillHuntBits I completely agree. It's so frustrating.

[Rez Graham @rezibot]

@SleepyTeaGames It's not posted anywhere except the vault, but I can certainly send it to you, though I'm not entirely sure how useful it will be without the audio. If you still want them, I can send them tomorrow. :)

Petty Officer 3rd Class Anaya is done with your shit.

[Rez Graham @rezibot]

@BillHuntBits Yes, 100%! I don't care about how an algorithm strings together a bunch of weighted tokens. I care about humans creating art about the human experience. It is fundamentally a human thing.

@_michaeljared Most designers I know use it all the time. I built an entire mathematical simulation of the system used to decide what Sims to spawn for which events on The Sims 4 entirely in Excel. We played with and tuned this simulation, then implemented it in the game.

@_michaeljared PS: sorry for the delay in my response! Been super busy lately and have mostly stayed off of social media.

[Rez Graham @rezibot]

@_michaeljared That's awesome! I'm really glad you enjoyed it! Godot has some real possibilities, and the broken trust from unity gives them the prime opportunity to shine. I haven't messed with Godot for several years, but I did check out their booth at GDC. I need to give them another chance.

Rearrange 1's and 0's.

[Rez Graham @rezibot]

@brianfoster That's great! If you shoot me an email, I'll send you the slides.

[Rez Graham @rezibot]

I guess someone missed me at GDC.

[Rez Graham @rezibot]

I'll miss everyone, and I can't wait for next year.

GDC day 5: I saw exactly zero talks. I gave the last of my talks today and it went well. One woman told me it was her favorite talk of the conference, which was awesome! This was the talk I was the least confident on.

[Rez Graham @rezibot]

After five years of not going to GDC, I realized how much I've missed them. My resolution for this next year is to reach out more. Nothing stops us from having these kinds of meaningful conversations throughout the entire year. I'm exhausted but inspired.
