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 - So Long, Atlanta. Hello, Boston.

Friday, June 27, 2008

Today we wrap up the EGD camp in Atlanta. The students presented their games to a few local developers, and thanks to making them do practice presentations earlier the student presentations went pretty well.

I'm glad I came down here and did the Atlanta camp this year. I Wish I had found Emagination earlier and did this camp for EGD last year as well. Being in GA already for SCAD means I go to occasional game development events up in Atlanta (SIEGE and GDX) and so almost all our special guest speakers/judges/etc. were people I've met before. Yay networking.
Also, getting the opportunity to alpha-test a game for Hi-Rez has been pretty awesome. :)

In any case, in a couple hours I fly up to Boston for two more sessions of the camp.
I can't wait. Boston is a great area, and many of my friends have jobs/internships in the area this summer. Plus, I miss the Boston Post Mortem gatherings.

So for those of you up in Boston, I'll probably see you sometime there!

Don't worry, Atlanta. You haven't seen the last of me.
