According to the schedule, this year's guest speakers boast an impressive line up including Lionhead (Peter Molyneux), Frontier Developments (David Braben), Introversion (Mark Morris and Chris Delay), and Criterion/EA (Richard Parr). With a look at both tech and design solutions, the focus is on the collaboration between industry and academia. Here's an extract from the press release:
