One of the fun elements of PAX is that it’s as much about the panels as it is the games. So if you could select a group of panel to give a talk about something, who would you choose?
When I have the chance to check out panels at PAX, or other shows, I tend to gravitate towards things I have no background in whatsoever, or things that I have an especially deep affection for.
For instance, I went to a panel last year about audio. I can’t make music for crap, and the discourse around music isn’t as advanced in games writing as, say, mechanics. Or level design.
But the nitty gritty is always fun to hear about, so having chief artists, programmers and coders up on stage is always fun. Carmack’s keynote speeches are always pretty fascinating.
A panel I’d like to see one day at PAX would be some of the coders on Breath of the Wild, or first-party Nintendo devs on working on the Switch and what the early stages of its lifecycle were like.
So if you could put anyone on a PAX panel, who would it be?
