If you’re going to be in Irvine, California, on April 20th, there’s still time to register for the MASSIVE conference on “the future of networked multiplayer games” being held by the Game Culture and Technology Lab at the University of California at Irvine’s Institute for Software Research. There are a number of interesting panels, including one on “the art of social sculpting,” one on “networked play cultures” (featuring Betsy Book of There.com and Bob Moore of PlayOn), and one on “new production models and infrastructures,” which features Corey Bridges of the Multiverse and Robin Harper of Linden Lab (though the technical side of things at LL usually falls to Cory Ondrejka to explain). Both LL and Blizzard Entertainment, which is located just down the road, will have recruitment tables at the event as well.
