    @Kouji: No joke. You'd think they'd publish their content just to promote game development...

    I didn't find the video, but did stumble across this picture. Charlie is either about to start laughing, or he's got his game face on. I couldn't tell which.

    Kouji_San........ because they clearly make money from people going to their conference.

    Probably 100% of the developers that attend their conferences have internet connections, so if they had a history of just publishing everything online for free, people would stop spending huge gobs of money to go.

    There are a load of free videos there. I watched the Post-Mortem on Doom. Was a good listen/slideshow.

    I also never realised BSP tech was basically born because someone wanted stairs in the middle of a big square room xD

    Adsense does, but then again. Their site is not so public, so not so good for ads

    "1981 Naylor's Ph.D thesis containing a full development of both BSP trees and a graph-theoretic approach using strongly connected components for pre-computing visibility, as well as the connection between the two methods. BSP trees as a dimension independent spatial search structure was emphasized" quote by wiki

    tldr: Not really.

    If you watch the video and see the slides, the basics of what's said is,

    "He liked the way the game was started to look. He wanted to fix the game. Isaac was given constraints, John said screw you this looks cool fix your tech dude."

    "John had to fix the problem, started reading up, thus the BSP tree was born based off of work by Bruce Naylor in the audience. John read a white paper on it and basically I could use that culling algorithm to generate and carve space inside levels."

    iD put it in to practice first and actually made BSP levels a reality, first ;)

    It starts at around 26minutes and goes on to 30ish for that part, with some maths I don't understand being shown on a slide too.

    Thanks guys!

    I wish they put the video of my talk up for free but alas. I'm planning on re-recording the talk and putting it up on videogamemba.com when I get a moment to do so.

    -Charlie
    P.S. The "(s)" in "soulmate(s)" refers to the fact that most successful companies have 2 or 3 founders.

    In case anyone is interested I had an e-mail today, putting the first round of GDC premium content at $395. Which considering, you had to purchase the $2100 (or $1495 pre-attend price) ticket when attending the GDC to get the premium content, is a good deal if you're in to that sort of thing.

    They have stated in my e-mail that it will be rising on the next round, so if you want to take advantage of it, get on their site and submit interest now.

    Didn't think I'd watch the whole thing, I have no interest in business, but I did find this all very interesting and there was alot of good ideas.
