About
I am presently a lecturer in Games Design at GCU. I am interested in most aspects of game design but lean towards: serious games, systems design, user centred game design, emotion in games, and technical game design.
In my research I'm trying to establish techniques to help designers more reliably design serious games. So instead of relying on instinct and a high level model, having actual craft support to structure the design process in order to reasonably predict that the player will actually learn the content. That's the plan anyway.
