Michael Mateas started off the day by describing the game design space, and mapping out how to work on creating better games within the frame of academia.
The line-up of speakers was amazing, and lots of interesting discussions happened. Here is a picture of Chris Crawford showing his new prototype to Will Wright. Later the same day Chris Crawford gave a recount of the 20 year journey of Storytron, and said he is moving on to this new prototype.
Here is what the schedule looked like:
