For those who don&#8217;t, I should mention that the first half of our talk consisted mostly of live demos and prototypes, with very few slides. Many of the slides that appear here weren&#8217;t shown, and are a brief overview of what was said during those demos. That said, Andy&#8217;s great &#8220;Nutty Professor&#8221; slides (from the second half of the talk) are here: including his theories on economy and coherence, abstraction and palette breadth, and everyone&#8217;s favorite slide overlaying games on McCloud&#8217;s &#8220;Picture Plane.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As always, feel free to comment below if you have any questions for us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another GDC has come and gone.
