Long Center
AT&T Education Room

A group of pros show off the first games they ever developed, so you can learn from their successes, failures, and hilarious life advice. These brave souls will bare all and give live demos of the games that got them started. They will tell tales of late nights, show off stupid mistakes, share lessons learned and answer questions about how they earned their place in the industry, each highlighting the one piece of advice they wish they could give to their younger self. The panel will wrap up with video submissions from gaming legends and surprise interviews exclusive to the SXSW audience! Panelists will be not only hilarious, but informative!
