In the second of our GDC 2017 specials, Dan is joined by long-serving game designer Raph Koster and Subset Games co-founder Justin Ma. The trio discusses how the Game Developers Conference has evolved over the years, as well as the changing role of consumer and industry events - particularly for indies. They also ponder the biggest challenges that independent developers face today, including the ever-looming obstacle of discoverability, and the rise of indie publishers. As always, you can find more news, insight and analysis at www.gamesindustry.biz.
