These include Player Manager (the first soccer game to twin management and a soccer game engine) and his later title Dino Dini’s GOAL!,” says the announcement.Dini will join Crytek lead artist Konstantin Molchanov, who is giving a talk on creating AAA games for low-end PCs, and Schell Games’ Heidi McDonald, who is giving a talk on why romance games haven’t tapped into the Western market, as featured speakers at GDC Europe 2013.
