Designer coffee queue
Sunday morning in Silverlake. Gotta sketch them fast cause the line moves pretty quick.
Electronic Arts submission letter
Been finding all kinds of cool stuff in my garage archives, which my assistant Aaron is helping me finally get organized, digitized and 21st century-compatible.
Like this submission form I filled out to submit my game Karateka to Electronic Arts back in 1984, when I was a junior at Yale.
I’d almost forgotten I’d sent Karateka to EA as well as Broderbund. It boggles my mind to think of the ways my life might have been different if they’d said yes.
Future of Games Symposium
I’ll be joining a UC Santa Cruz symposium in Silicon Valley on April 15, “Inventing the Future of Games.” Sims creator Will Wright will give a keynote. The panel I’m on is about “Games and Cinema.”
I love being in an industry where we get to study what we’re doing from an academic point of view, while we’re doing it.
