The week after Katamari Damacy’s release in Japan for PlayStation 2 back in 2004, Keita Takahashi, previously of Namco Bandai, visited Game Developers Conference to demonstrate his seminal “object rollup” title at the prestigious Experimental Gameplay Workshop.
You can see how this well-loved game came together over on the GDC Vault’s new YouTube channel. It’s free!
In addition to this presentation, the GDC Vault and its new YouTube channel offers numerous other free videos, audio recordings, and slides from many of the recent Game Developers Conference events, and the service offers even more members-only content for GDC Vault subscribers.
Those who purchased All Access passes to recent events like GDC, GDC Europe, and GDC Next already have full access to GDC Vault, and interested parties can apply for the individual subscription via a GDC Vault subscription page. Group subscriptions are also available: game-related schools and development studios who sign up for GDC Vault Studio Subscriptions can receive access for their entire office or company by contacting staff via the GDC Vault group subscription page. Finally, current subscribers with access issues can contact GDC Vault technical support.
