One of my favorite things, if not my favorite part of GDC, was the Game Developers Choice Awards/Independent Games Festival. I had the pleasure of meeting one of the directors of the event at a pre-GDC kickoff party, Joe Markert, and he urged me to go. I am incredibly glad I made it out! So for today’s #SCED I figured I would try my hand at a new effect in AE and apply it to the GDCA.
