Dev corner: FOSDEM about Games

Fosdem Game Dev

We already mentioned the FOSDEM 2012 role playing game development talk but recently I found links to more open source game development and game design "devrooms" here.

• Alistair Riddoch - The Dynamic Data Driven Worlds of WorldForge.mp3
• Arthur Huillet - Anatomy of a role playing game.avi
• Erik Ogenvik - Getting Started With Ogre3d For Game Development.mp3
• Jeremy Rosen - Balancing a game - the open source way.mp3
• Thomas Kinnen - Data-Driven and Component-Based Game-Entities.mp3

I also recommend "A New OSI for A New Decade" here, which starts with explaining how not to be annoying when advocating freedom.

In two and a half hours, the online #AltDevConf starts. There seems to be no way to attend live unless you use Windows or OS X but the talks will be recorded and made available online later.

There will be 25 talks from the range of game programming, education, design and production.

AltDevConf is an online community-driven conference...

We aim provide free access to a comprehensive selection of game development topics taught by leading industry experts, and to create a space where bright and innovative voices can be heard.
