On Thursday of #GDC2024, I'm paying for everyoneโ€™s carousel rides.

The Game Developer Carousel is open to everyone March 21st from 11am to 6pm. No catch, no pitch, just pure whimsy. #GDCarousel ๐ŸŽฎ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿ’ป๐ŸŽ

Announcing Game Developer Carousel 2024

YouTube

To be 100% clear: Everyone can ride!

A long as you're respectful to the staff and the 118 year old carousel, everyone can ride. Even if you're not attending the Game Developer Conference. #GDCarousel

@TheSeg Oh hell yeah, cannot wait to ride the hell outta that carousel
@qdot And it's unlimited rides! You will have to exit and re-queue as it's only fair.

@TheSeg I wonder if we can do Lost Levels from the carousel.

Speaker presents from the Carousel, spectators have to run around it to catch talk.

I see zero problems with this idea.

@qdot Soโ€ฆ No moving around on the carousel while the ride is in motion and the carousel is inclosed in it's own building with no room around it to wander.

However!

The area around the carousel is nice and open. There's also a 7-9 seater sleigh that would be great for a one-ride roundtable. Note this is one of the accessible seating options, so make sure not to prevent someone from otherwise taking a ride.

@TheSeg Wow, that is so cool. Thank you! (In advance) ๐Ÿ˜„
@mdashow You're welcome! What would really help is spreading the word.
@TheSeg Of course! I've already shared it in a couple of Discord groups and on the Bay Area Game Developers slack channel! ๐Ÿ‘
