I&#8217;ve been thinking about what I want to talk about and it occurred to me that it would be really useful to know you all want to hear. I feel like the folks that read this blog represent a great cross-section of different perspectives on games and game design and your input is as valuable as any I could get. Here are a few ideas for topics that I&#8217;ve been tossing around:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Independent vs. Indie.<\/li>\n<li>Innovation and independence.<\/li>\n<li>The history of independent game design.<\/li>\n<li>Designing games for specific audiences.<\/li>\n<li>The process of building an independent game (i.e. Casablanca).<\/li>\n<li>The experience of building your first game.<\/li>\n<li>My education as a game designer and the reality of starting a career in game design.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Is there anything that catches any interest in any of you all? Is there something that I&#8217;m not thinking of? I&#8217;ll be working on the presentation throughout the week and any feedback you guys have on these initials thoughts or otherwise would be greatly appreciated. Of course, I hope to see you all there!<\/p>\n<p><em>Author&#8217;s Note:\u00a0 How about them Giants?<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So I&#8217;ll be speaking at the next Gaming Seminar hosted by NYU this coming Friday, and the topic will be &#8216;Independent Game Designers&#8217;.
