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 - Yes, Giving a Lecture.

Tuesday, December 2, 2008

I will also now officially be giving a lecture at my former high school on the game industry and how to break into it.

This will be in two weeks from today.

I'm very excited by this, the teacher I set this up with is excited by this, and I've been told that the students are excited by this, so it's excitement all around.
