GDCRadio Presents Game Design Challenge MP3

We are proud to present our first free MP3 from our archive of GDC recordings. This week we introduce you to one of the most popular sessions at the last few GDC's The Game Design Challenge which pits well known designers against their peers to find a compelling game concept on a novel topic.

In the 2005 Game Design Challenge, Will Wright returned to face off against Peter Molyneux and Clint Hocking in a challenge moderated by Eric Zimmerman. The theme? Design a game around a highly unusual "license" -- the poetry of Emily Dickinson. Licensed properties are a hotly debated topic in the game industry. Does the use of a license hamper design creativity? Or will the unusual "license" of Emily Dickinson spur the Game Design Challenge panelists into new design territory?

You can now now download the Game Design Challenge: Emily Dickinson License (.MP3, 12.7mb).
