New discussion panel: Anti-Lynch

By | News | One Comment

DevGAMM is known for Game Lynch, which has turned into an amazing show but kind of lost its constructive nature along the way.

So one small group of enthusiasts decided to do better, break the system developed by Alex Nichiporchik, exclude alcohol, and bring value to developers. This is how Anti-Lynch was created.

Discussion Panel organized with the support of GDCuffs collective blog will feature a detailed analysis of game design mistakes in 3 games. Seven experts will take every game to pieces to provide advice for improvements.

The panel is hosted by Serge Himmelreich, the Producer and Founder of ORC WORK company. Each game will be reviewed by pair of experts who will assume the roles of bad cops.

All games will be selected from GAMM:Play submissions. Send your game now to get extra possibility to be upgraded by game design gurus.

If your game is chosen for Anti-Lynch, you have nothing to be afraid of: you won’t need to drink on stage or participate in lightsaber fight. Instead, each developer is up for a good surprise at the end 😉
