106 0

It’s almost here! On March 9 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco the Game Developer’s Conference officially kicks off and Naughty Dog plans to have a big presence. Many of our folks will be participating in numerous sessions, panels, and tutorials. For the full list, please see below, but first let’s talk about one session in particular.

On Thursday, March 11 from 4:30 – 5:30 PM PST, Naughty Dog’s co-lead Game Designer, Richard Lemarchand, will be participating in a session with Baiyon, graphic artist and composer of Q-Games’ PixelJunk Eden, and they want to take your questions to be answered during the panel!

The session will take form as a lively discussion on the inherent similarities of artistic endeavor and will encompass conversations on Richard’s and Baiyon’s games, and the nature of creativity and process in games. We’re hoping to use a number of questions submitted by the community to lead the conversation. If you have a question you’d like to have answered during this panel, please submit it in the comments below and we’ll do our best to get it answered at GDC. We welcome all kinds of questions, serious, fun, etc…we’re looking for variety! Get your questions in before Friday; we’ll close all submissions after that.

Finally, if you’re planning to attend GDC, we hope to see you in the audience or around Moscone!

  • Will they be adding skins for Uncharted 2 based on Jak and Daxter characters?

    When will they release a new Jak and Daxter game for the PS3?

    Would they work close with Insomnia and Sucker Punch to make the greatest game history has ever known?

  • hey can you guys at naughty dog tally up the number of awards uncharted 2 has won and post it up. and also teach the 3rd party devs how to make REAL games on the PS3. awesome game by the way

  • Will there be an Uncharted 3? If so, what are your plans for it and what could you tell us about it? Will there be new characters, maybe offline and online co-op/comp this time around?

  • Will Daxter ever not wear those pants again?

    (And if not could you make him not wear pants for while just for me?)

    If there even is a ps3 jak and daxter game….and please say the Ps3 games stars Daxter..ya.. like the psp game….Who are we kidding there has to be a ps3 game?

  • Here’s my question for Richard
