June 2009 Masterclass coffee break
Become a game designer, see the world! Well, not exactly - but I've had a lot of great travel for my consulting and speaking gigs. One of my all-time favorite events is the Game Connection Masterclasses in Paris every June. I've been teaching on design here for the last two years and will return this year to speak on Mobile and Social Games. I am not well known for this topic, but like many of my fellow long-term game designers, I've dived into it with enthusiasm over the last few years, co-designing a Facebook game and working now as a co-founder of a startup that is in the midst of some groundbreaking (and currently still secret) work. But it goes back to the roots of social gaming, with a pioneering milestone had the privilege of being part of from the beginning.
By June when I will be teaching this one-day class I expect to be able to show a bit more of what our new venture is up to, and will definitely be sharing some of the insights I've had and lessons learned from working in the current renaissance of this exciting area of game development. Pierre Carde and Sophie Romano have put together another great set of speakers for this upcoming class, and it's held the week after the annual Fête de la Musique event as well as the Paris Game AI conference. Great time to come to the City of Lights.
