A bunch of us are going to the Computer Games Museum at 2pm today.

Is there any report on how the conference went? Info on presentations, any slides, etc?

I also find it strange that there is no feedback from IRDC. Maybe they have created a New Berlin Interpretation which defines "roguelike" so narrowly that no roguelikes actually exist, and most of them no longer wanted to participate in empty discussions and thus left the community, while the remaining few have concentrated their efforts on creating a true roguelike.

Perhaps an argument about permadeath broke out and no one survived it?

I've been too busy to write up a full report, or to edit the Roguelike Radio ep we recorded there.

Overall it was great. Lots of cool presentations, especially Mark Johnson's Ultima Ratio Regum and Tom Ford's graph-based dungeon/quest/waypoint thing in TraumaRL. I have videos of the talks which I'll throw online... some time.

Alas, the slides don't make a lot of sense without my commentary (though I did give a talk at a game studies conference in Canada a few weeks ago on roguelikes, you can find the slides for those at http://www.ultimaratioregum.co.uk/game/?wpdmact=process&did=NDMuaG90bGluaw==, and those make sense without my commentary). I basically talked about procedural graphic generation for the most-part, as that's probably the most iconic part of URR thus far :).
