Today, the organizers of the GC Developers Conference (GCDC) announced that Chris Taylor will be a keynote speaker at the event. The developer of the upcoming Space Siege and Demigod will give a speech titled "The Struggle for Independence and the Making of Demigod" where he will discuss how the industry has changed during his 20-year career and how he hopes to meet new challenges. Taylor will also comment on the difficulties that come from creating original titles compared to a sequel or derivative game.

"Our goal is to present keynote speakers that inspire our attendees, while providing valuable insight into the changing landscape of the games industry," said Frank Sliwka, project director of GCDC. "Chris Taylor's participation takes the already content rich conference program to a higher level and makes GCDC an absolute must-attend event."

"Expect a surreal journey into my bizarre and twisted mind," said Taylor, adding, "Please bring your sense of humor with you."

Taylor will give his keynote on August 20. More information about GCDC's schedule and speakers can be found at gcdc.eu.
