Bio

Hi, I'm Brian.

I'm currently a game designer at 1st Playable Productions.

Prior to that I worked at Emagination Computer Camps, at their 'Emagination Game Design' camp for teens, where I taught high school students about the video game industry and how to design and create art for games. Through this program I have overseen the development of over 20 student games.

On top of making games I also enjoy producing electronic music, drawing, writing, and a host of other artistic endeavors!

Blog - Good Day at EGD

Friday, June 20, 2008

Yesterday was a good day. It was the kind of day that is the epitome of why my job with EGD is great for my career.

For one thing, I got to meet with and present a speaker who is a game design legend, one whom I had met before at SIEGE. Again, meeting with the speakers I get to present is one of the biggest perks of this job.

*The other perk is the studio tour, and this one was particularly great. I've been blessed with the opportunity to tour 4 different game development studios now (through this job or otherwise), and most are fairly standard.

But this time it was Hi-Rez studios, and A.) I was allowed to play-test the alpha version of their game. I've only ever been able to see the alpha stage of my OWN games, so seeing someone else's was particularly interesting. B.) I also signed my first ever NDA, so I can't tell you anything about the game at all. ;)
