Digital Dialogues

[Image: Fullerton]I just got back from one of the talks that make up the digital dialogues series of speakers at Occidental College.

Today’s was “The Art of Play: Player Centric Design and the Process of Innovation,” given by Tracy Fullerton.

It was a really interesting talk about the process of game design and how games themselves (from old games to video games) take part in our lives. Overall, it looked like USC has a really cool program (go figure) that’s an extremely perfect setup for anyone that wants to go into the games industry.

They have a “game design” sub-section of the cinema school that basically groups up cinema, computer science, and design students, and then encourages them to develop original games like That Cloud Game, which we saw demoed at the talk.

Very cool stuff.
