Devcom aims for No. 2 game dev event vs GDC with new venue | The DeanBeat
GDC is the biggest game developer event in the world. But who's No. 2? Devcom, co-located with Gamescom, is aiming for it.
Stephan Reichart, managing director of Devcom, said in an interview with GamesBeat that his game dev event is expanding to a larger venue in hopes of being a clear No. And another big talk is “Simulation and Representation of Topology-Changing Rolling Waves for Massive Open Ocean Games.” Vladimir Lopatin, senior technical artist at Guerrilla Games, will present a novel method for capturing physical wave simulation data with a set of approximation curves that copes with overhangs, changing topology and strict budget requirements in large open-world games. In addition to a bigger show, Devcom is launching its own scholarship program to help underrepresented groups within gaming from all over the world attend the conference for free.
