Thankfully, through a combination of some good networking strategies, help from friends, and luck, I was able to have a nice time.

Occasionally, my anxiety can get really rough and I need to take some time off. I can get overwhelmed in big crowds where I don’t know anyone, it’s hard for me to start or join a conversation when everyone else seems to be talking, and I don’t really like the loud and dark atmosphere of the parties that seem to be the norm at GDC. It’s also one of the parts of the conference that’s most daunting for me as a somewhat shy and introverted person. Also, I’ve decided to make my lessons learned section into its own post, so please look forward to part three! Parties, meetups, hangouts, and “networking”Īnother really good part of GDC was meeting new people and reconnecting with others. I’m back with Part Two of my GDC 2018 recap! Where part one covered what I did leading up to GDC and the talks I attended, part two will talk about what I did socially, my time on the show floor, and what I did after GDC ended.
