Double Fine's Broken Age, Grand Cru's Supernauts added to 'GDC Next 10'
With the first-500 pass deadline almost due, 'future of games' conference, GDC Next organizers have revealed Double Fine's crowdfunded adventure game Broken Age and Grand Cru's 'Minecraft vs. Clash Of Clans'-esque Supernauts as the latest in the 'GDC Next 10' lecture series.
As part of the Los Angeles event's cutting-edge content, each game's creator will be invited to give a world-exclusive talk about the concepting, inspiration, and design behind the title.
Each 'GDC Next 10' game has been picked by GDC's organizers as a game to watch for the future -- one that is doing something decidedly different in today's increasingly crowded game market.
This week's first inductee to the Next 10 is Double Fine's crowdfunded point-and-click adventure game revival Broken Age [trailer]. Their GDC Next session will explore their research and design for rethinking the classic adventure genre for the modern era.
With a compelling speaker line-up yet to be revealed, the studio will examine what classic adventure games did well, what fans of the genre liked about them, and how they can take advantage of all the advancements in dev technology and technique since the genre's heyday.
