My presentation was actually about stealth, facing and hearing range are just ways to implement it.

Anyway, soon the edited videos as well as videos of the 2nd days will be made available.

About gossip I don’t know, but I was only there at Saturday.

I liked the “academic conference” feeling, because it made us think deeper about many aspects of roguelikes. The concept of talks and discussions worked very well — and it felt very important ;) The talks of the others helped me in my current development, and my talk and the discussion about it helped me also in my non-roguelike scientific progress. So if we repeat IRDC in 2009, we should have presentations again.

The great thing was that everybody had some good thoughts, and that it was recognizable that the people there have a passion for rogulikes — from different perspectives, but all respectable.

So where’s the gossip?

I always imagined roguelikers getting together would be more like a knitting group than an academic conference.
