CEDECは、基調講演から始まり、多種多様なセッションがあります。エンジニア向けデザイナー向けはもちろん、初心者講習会のようなワークショップなども展開されています。まず基調講演では、最高に面白い話を聞く事ができます。基調講演には題が付いているのですが、それが例えどんなに自分の興味が無いものでも、基調講演は聞いて面白いし、自分の考えや行動に多くの刺激をもたらすと思います。重要なのは、「勉強になるか、自分の興味があるかで判断せず、新しいものを吸収しようという意思によって判断すること」だと改めて感じました。
セッションでは、私は以前から、企画立案やチームマネジメント、開発環境に興味がありましたので、それに関するものを多く聞きました。どのセッションも勉強になることが多く、今後の私の活動に多大な良い影響があることは確実です。聞いたセッションの中で一番印象に残っているのは、「何かアイディアを思いついたら、誰かにそのアイディアを実行するようお願いする前に、それが必要なものだということを自分で証明してからお願いをする」という言葉です。「無駄にするなら自分の時間を無駄にするのがまず最初」という理念からのお話でしたが、チームでクリエイティブなことを成し遂げるための術として、意識していきたいです。
他にもCEDECでは、セッションだけではなく、様々な展示が展開されています。ここでは、最新のツールやデバイスから、一風変わったゲームまであります。展示社の方から様々なお話を聞き、私の大学での活動に生かせそうな技術をいくつか発見できましたし、工夫点や他社と差別化している部分なども垣間見ることができました。
終わりに、私が今回のスカラーシップで一番後悔したことを書きたいと思います。実は、私はCEDEC2日目に参加していません。というのも、体調を崩してしまったからです。これは本当に後悔しています。 CEDEC前は、例え忙しくても、休めるのであれば休んだ方がいいです。自身の体は根源的な資本です。私のように、貴重な機会を失ってしまってはダメです。

To start off, I’d like to thank the scholarship members whom talked with me about a whole variety of things, the people at IGDA who gave us continuous support across all 4 days, and GREE, TAYUTAU, and GeePlus, who took the time to show us what their studios were like during development.
Starting with the keynote address, CEDEC had a wide variety of sessions to choose from. There were lectures specifically for engineers and designers, and even workshops that were geared towards beginners.
The most interesting things can be heard at the keynote address. While the keynote went over topics that may not necessarily be related to my own interests, it was still engaging to listen to, and it stimulated my thoughts and actions. What I feel was an important lesson from the keynote was to “not evaluate things based on whether it is worth studying, or whether it is of interest, but rather to base it on whether something new can be learned.”
As I previously had an interest towards project planning, team management, and development environments, I attended several sessions that were related to them. Regardless of what the session was about, I learned a lot from each of them, and there is no doubt that they would heavily influence what I do from here on out.
The most memorable thing from the sessions I attended was the phrase “before you request someone to help make an idea of yours into reality, be sure to prove that your idea and their help is necessary first.” It is based on the logic that “if it is a waste of time, you are wasting your own time first and foremost.” As a skill necessary for a team to fully realise their creativity, it is something I want to bear in mind going forward.
Other than the sessions, CEDEC also had an exhibition with a whole range of booths to explore. This included things such as the latest tools and devices, and games that were atypical. I talked about all sorts of things with various exhibitors, discovered various technologies that would allow me to take full advantage of my time in university, and got a glimpse at the various unique points that made each company unique.
In closing, I would like to write about what I regretted the most from this scholarship experience. To tell you the truth, I did not attend the second day of CEDEC because I fell sick. Missing a day of CEDEC is something that I truly regret. No matter how busy you are during the days leading up to CEDEC, be sure to get as much rest as you can. Your body is your most fundamental asset after all. Don’t make the same mistake that I did and lose such an invaluable opportunity.
