SUMMARY:The Future of Games: A brief look into how we play games tomorrow.
DESCRIPTION:The 2008 global recession forced the gaming industry into radical reinvention\, leading to the gaming renaissance. Between 2010 and today\, gaming transformed from a niche hobby into one of the most dominant cultural forces on the planet\, weaving itself into music\, film\, sports\, and fashion along the way. This panel takes a hard\, empirically grounded look at where the industry goes from here. I focus on socioeconomic analysis and market data to map out two potential futures: one where games become less accessible due to an intersectional collective of reasons including socioeconomics\, and one where games continue to innovate to strive to make sure everyone can experience games. Let's have an honest conversation about what's at stake\, what the data is already telling us\, and what the industry\, creators\, and communities can do to ensure the next chapter of gaming is one worth playing.

SUMMARY:Food Brands in Video Games: Exploring the Intercontinental Gaming Buffet
DESCRIPTION:Spurred by a conversation in 2024\, I became curious what food (and drink)-sponsored video games existed in the world. There's better-known ones\, like Burger King's Xbox games and McDonald's M.C. Kids\, but there were MANY more to be found. I explored everything I could\, leading 100+ games with endorsements or whole games devoted to the brand. Many went beyond anything I expected\, and far beyond U.S. soil. Come hungry for gaming that looks like a snack. Panelists: Jamaal "Ryyudo" Graves [Part-Time Streamer\, www.twitch.tv/ryyudo]

SUMMARY:Toby Fox Music - The Art of Melody and Leitmotif
DESCRIPTION:We're going after that little white dog\, Toby Fox. This panel will focus on the history of his incredible discography\, and why it so effectively reaches our hearts. We love the worlds he creates\, and we love his characters\, but they all become inseparable from their themes. These melodies can be both simplistically and expertly composed at the same time. We aim to examine how Toby Fox has made an art-form out of the concept of the leitmotif. We will travel chronologically through Toby's influences which defined his style leading up to Deltarune\, and even touch upon why he chose to leave certain musical pieces behind. This panel will be conducted by two musicians who have a deep love for the many projects from Toby Fox\, and is mainly dedicated to the fan-base who also shares this passion. Maybe we'll play you a little something at the end! Panelists: Light MetaS [Musician] | Bardometer

SUMMARY:Cadillacs\, Dinosaurs\, and Sillywood: When Hollywood Fell in Love With FMVs and Video Games
DESCRIPTION:When technology such as the CD-ROM and early CG arrived in the late 80s and early 90s\, both Hollywood and Silicon Valley lost their collective minds with excitement over new creative possibilities and scrambled to collaborate together. A slew of movies featuring early CG were released\, while Full Motion Video technology and high quality audio were core to the experiences of classic games such as Myst\, Rebel Assault\, the 7th Guest\, and Wing Commander. Yet not all were successful\; for every Myst\, there was a Night Trap or a Sewer Shark. Join Rob Curl and Steve Horowitz to explore game and audio design in this era of “Sillywood”! The session will examine key titles from the period\, including Cadillacs and Dinosaurs\, which Horowitz worked on with Rocket Science Games\, and analyze the distinctive aesthetics that emerged from the fusion of Hollywood production techniques and interactive media. The talk will also address why many of these ambitious projects became fascinating failed experiments\, offering insight into the challenges of integrating live-action storytelling with early interactive technologies and what their legacy reveals for contemporary game design.

The first: San Francisco in the year 2100\, geographically divided between a surveillance state and a grassroots autonomous zone. The second: an archival museum staffed by spirits and machines\, set 10\,000 years after the extinction of humanity. She is also an aspiring game developer\, with the dream of translating the digital\, video game-inspired aesthetics of her work into a full fledged indie RPG.
