Game Developer's Conference Papers and Roundtable Reports

I've given various presentations and conducted various roundtables at the GDC over the years. Most of those papers and moderator's reports are presented below for easy access; you can also reach them via my page, but that's clunky.

Additionally, I've added links for those papers and reports presented by my "partners in crime" in the AI roundtables, Eric Dybsand and Neil Kirby that I had on hand or which they asked me to put up. I highly recommend their sessions over mine if you must choose since they're the real professionals; I'm just an engineer.

Neil Kirby is one of the fellow AI folks who has shared co-hosting the GDC AI roundtables with me (together with Eric Dybsand). He's graciously allowed me to host some of his moderator's reports from his roundtables here as well. I only wish I'd been able to attend!
