How good a deal you ask? How about a free conference pass worth $700?
GDC Canada has announced that they will be offering free passes to the Vancouver conference to those who have been laid off from their games industry job in the past 12 months. Potential devs who want to take advantage of it can’t be currently employed, and must present a Record of Employment at the show to be eligible.
No doubt you have been inundated with news of the Wii HD and Monkey Island: the sequel: the remake, but let’s be honest with ourselves: the only true news is that this is a totally sweet photoshop of a highway sign leading into Hoboken, NJ. No, nobody cares about the New Sam & Max season making it’s way to PS3, the winners of the Game Developer’s Choice Awards, or that Gabe Newell (head honcho at Valve) got a Portal-themed BSOD during hispresentation. I am in serious doubt if anyone gives two shakes of a wiimote about the Indie game rant session, the new Deus Ex 3 trailer or Steamworks being integrated with Unreal Engine 3.
This image is so much more awesome.
