Game Connect Asia Pacific (GCAP 2010) will focus on the key theme \u2018The Player Experience\u2019 and will explore the world of video games from the eyes of the game player, ensuring an interactive, thought provoking and insightful conference program.<\/p>\n
As such, this year\u2019s conference will take a holistic view of the development process, exploring how every single line of code, piece of art, business and marketing decision ultimately impacts on our audience. A strong focus will be placed on the rapid iteration of ideas and how every studio is able to create a catalogue of concepts for presentation to the global publishing and game playing audience.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith such an exciting and thought provoking theme as \u2018The Player Experience\u2019 at the very heart of what we\u2019re doing this year, we\u2019re gearing up for a community driven GCAP. This year the industry will come together to dissect the global games industry and look at how, with investment from every discipline in the game making process, we come up with amazing new game concepts and gameplay innovations,\u201d commented GDAA CEO, Antony Reed.<\/p>\n
