China Game Summit Begins Tomorrow; Links Eastern and Western Developers;
Examines International Business and Creative Processes
SHANGHAI, China, Dec. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- The CMP Game Group, host of the
industry leading Game Developers Conference (GDC), is growing the global game
development community by introducing the China Game Summit. The one-day event
will take place tomorrow, Dec. 7, at The Hilton Hotel in Shanghai, China.
Developers, publishers and industry professionals representing companies from
both China and the West will gather to explore the theme of "What's Next" in
the world of video game creation.
The summit will serve as a forum for Asian developers to exchange ideas
and establish partnerships to better prepare for future development cycles.
It will provide invaluable information regarding business and creative
processes behind next-generation consoles and titles, including production and
budgets. Moreover, the event will explore ways to advance resources and
techniques to create better quality games that will appeal to international
audiences.
Panels will feature high-level executives from Factor 5, Microsoft,
Shanda, The 9, and Ubisoft Shanghai, who will discuss key global trends in
game development and ways to address potential obstacles.
"With the strength of local online PC gaming as well as its outsourcing
talent, Chinese game development offers a unique set of opportunities, while
experiencing common challenges," Jamil Moledina, conference director, said.
"The China Game Summit will address the production and creative issues that
both Chinese and global developers are faced with and how the industry can
move forward and adapt while improving the quality of the titles."
The success of the GDC as a networking platform for US and Western
developers has compelled the CMP Game Group to connect with their Eastern
counterparts, resulting in the formation of the China Game Summit. The
organization recently hosted its fifth successful GDC Europe and plans to
complete the global ecosystem of game development by launching GDC Asia in
late 2006.
