SUMMARY:Physical Modeling Synthesis: History\, Applications\, and the Future
DESCRIPTION:Are you at AES Long Beach today?\nJoin Jordan Rudess\, Nick Porcaro\, Julius Smith and IASIG Steering Committee member Pat Scandalis for a session on physical modeling! \nWhen: Thursday Oct 23\, 2025 9:00am\nWhere: Room 102a \nThe story of physical modeling spans nearly a thousand years—from early explorations of acoustics to today’s cutting-edge synthesis technologies. We now live in a time when anyone can perform like Jimi Hendrix with just small device in the palm of their hands. It’s a fun and deeply technical topic\, drawing on many fields\, including physics\, acoustics\, digital signal processing and music. \nThis tutorial will explore: \n– A historical overview of physical modeling synthesis\, illustrated with compelling audio examples. \n– The critical role of MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression) in unlocking the expressive potential of physical models. \n– Practical applications for composers and orchestrators using physical modeling instruments. \n– Future Applications of Physical Modeling including MIDI 2\, the MIDI 2 Orchestral Articulation Profile\, and AI Virtual Performers controlling Physical Models. \nThe IASIG is a non-profit organization in partnership with The MIDI Association and the International Game Developers Association (IGDA). Our sponsors include Audiokinetic\, FMOD\, JUCE\, EastWest Sounds and Dolby.\n\n

SUMMARY:Out of Office - AI Tools and Game Development
DESCRIPTION:It’s time for another Out of Office Game Industry Speaker Event! Our topic is “AI Tools and Game Development.” \nOur speaker for this event is Alix Ollivier\, an XR developer and AI advocate working on Balloon Bats\, a Meta Quest VR game with over 1\,000 active players. He studied at the University of Southern California’s CS (Games) program. \nIt has been 3 years since the public release of ChatGPT. Since then\, we’ve seen incredible evolutions of AI technology\, and it’s spilled over into how we develop our games today. Come learn how generative AI can help solo developers and small teams do the work that used to take large teams! Your dream game might be possible to make\, if you learn about the opportunities available to all since the last year. \nWe recognize that AI is a hot button issue\, and we ask that the discussion be kept to tools rather than a political/moral discussion. We will have other opportunities to discuss the implications of using AI at another time. \n##### SCHEDULE: \n> 4:30 – 5:00 p.m. | Check In\, Drinks & Networking\n> 5:00 – 5:45 p.m. | Educational Session in Classroom A\n> 5:45 – 6:30 p.m. | Drinks & Networking \nJoin our Discord: https://discord.gg/cz2aWSYvjh

SUMMARY:Plan D - Developer Forum
DESCRIPTION:在代码与创意的世界里，我们习惯了独自面对屏幕、调试BUG、打磨玩法，却也渴望能有一群真正懂行的同路人，分享突破瓶颈的狂喜，吐槽开发中的血泪。 \n In the world of code and creativity\, we’re used to facing screens alone — debugging\, refining mechanics — yet we long for a community of people who truly get it: to share the euphoria of breaking through a wall\, and to vent about the blood and tears of development. \n\n当GDC（Game Developers Conference，游戏开发者大会）的前沿趋势扑面而来，当发行方的选品标准扑朔迷离，一次线下的相聚，或许正是那扇通往新视野与新机遇的窗口。 \nAs the cutting-edge trends from GDC (Game Developers Conference) wash over us\, and as publishers’ selection criteria grow ever more elusive\, an in-person gathering may be just the window into new perspectives and new opportunities. \n\n为此，IGDA国际游戏开发者协会深圳分会诚意重启「Plan D 开发者论坛」，于4月18日在深圳举办，旨在为本地游戏创作者打造一个开放、专业、有温度的交流场域。 \nTo that end\, the IGDA (International Game Developers Association) Shenzhen Chapter is proudly relaunching Plan D Developer Forum\, taking place on April 18th in Shenzhen — dedicated to building an open\, professional\, and human-centered space for local game creators to connect. \n\n无论你是程序员、策划、美术、发行商务，还是正在打磨第一款Demo的独立开发者，都欢迎加入我们，暂别孤独编码，开启一场面对面的深度对话。 \nWhether you’re a programmer\, designer\, artist\, publishing professional\, or an indie developer polishing your very first demo\, you’re welcome to join us. Step away from the solitude of coding and open up a real\, face-to-face conversation. \n\n我们相聚，是为了：让脑海中的玩法创意，找到第一个愿意认真倾听的同行；让开发中踩过的坑，在你一言我一语的碰撞中，浮现新的解法；让每一个坚持创作的灵魂，真切地感受到——在这座城市里，我们并非独行。我们希望这场论坛，能像一位老朋友的邀约，为你带来半日充实、放松且充满能量的时光。 \nWe come together to: give the gameplay ideas in your head their first audience — someone who will genuinely listen; let the pitfalls you’ve stumbled through in development spark new solutions through the back-and-forth of shared experience; and let every soul who keeps on creating truly feel — that in this city\, none of us walks alone. We hope this forum feels like an invitation from an old friend: half a day that’s fulfilling\, relaxed\, and full of energy. \n\n四月，深圳见。 人已齐，嘉宾已到，游戏已备。期待与你坐下来，听听分享，聊聊开发，也听听你一路走来的创作故事。 \nApril. See you in Shenzhen. Everyone’s here. The speakers have arrived. The games are ready. We look forward to sitting down with you — to hear the talks\, swap dev stories\, and listen to the creative journey that brought you here.
