A bunch of design related talks from indiecade are online:

http://chrishecker.com/A_Dialogue_On_Depth

- "designing the universe" by blow and ten boch gives an interesting design philosophy, and talks about its application to puzzle games
- lemarchand (a designer on uncharted) talks about how indie games have influenced his AAA work
- capy guys have a sword and sworcery postmortem
- hecker of spore and spy party and his friend (a former magic: the gathering designer) talk about what depth in games means

Thanks for posting! These should be quite good.. listening to Hecker's right now.

Are there any .mp3 files of these talks, or are the slideshows too important to be excluded? While watching hour long videos, I can almost HEAR my internet screaming in pain. I'm especially interested in the S&S postmortem, I liked that game and would like to hear about the design process behind it.

hecker's talk is available as mp3 + ppt
I'm not aware of mp3s for any of the other ones.
