These talks are part of the\u00a0\u00a0programming<\/strong><\/a>,\u00a0\u00a0design<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0\u00a0business<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0tracks in GDC Europe 2013, which will take place Monday through Wednesday, August 19th-21st at the Cologne Congress-Centrum Ost in Cologne, Germany – just ahead of (and co-located with) the massive 275,000 person\u00a0\u00a0Gamescom event<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

In ‘The Making of\u00a0\u00a0Halo 4<\/em>‘s Episodic Co-op Adventure:\u00a0\u00a0Spartan Ops<\/em>,’ 343 Industries’ lead designer Chris Haluke will share his design details behind Xbox-exclusive franchise\u00a0\u00a0Halo<\/em>‘s first ever episodic multiplayer content.<\/p>\n

This talk will outline some of the key pillars Haluke stood by, including maintaining accessibility, creating compelling but bite-sized chunks of gameplay, and ensuring that fiction is continually tied to the adventure.<\/p>\n

Next, Nordeus’ head of business development Nikola Cavic will present a strong example for success in emerging markets, arguing that these markets have lucrative populations and monetization levels but are ignored by developers.
\nIn ‘Top Eleven<\/em>: Achieving global success via emerging markets,’ Cavic will share how Nordeus targeted and embraced markets outside of the US and UK to achieve\u00a0\u00a0over 11 million monthly active users<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0and 40 million registered users within three years for its online sports management game.<\/p>\n

In his ‘C++ in the Browser: a tale from the trenches’ lecture, attendees will learn about the current state, advantages, and disadvantages of 3 C++-to-web technologies.<\/p>\n

Weissflog will speak about Native Client, flascc and emscripten, with a strong focus on emscripten. His tips will include how to prepare and port their existing code bases and how to deal with the limitations of running in a browser environment.<\/p>\n

More talks will be revealed throughout the months leading up to GDC Europe in August.\u00a0\u00a0Early bird registration for GDC Europe 2013<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0is now available, with discounts up to 20% off admission. Group admission discounts are also available.<\/p>\n
