Tommy Thompson

and

George Osborn

are back for this episode of Branching Factor, recorded on the final day of the 2024 Game Developers Conference (GDC). The team reflect on the week that has passed, and just how valuable a solid nights sleep can be when caught up in all this madness.

Plus they discuss the reality of what it means to be at GDC as independent contractors, plus the moods and themes they’re picking up across their respective corners of the games industry.
