Part 1: In class Monday we had visiting speakers who work in the local video game industry. Write a short response to our visiting speaker presentations. Who were they? What do they do? Did you learn anything new through their talk?

Last class, we had two people come and describe to us their journey throughout the video game industry while making their own game. They described many different parts of the process, and answered really specific questions. As someone who is really interested in video games, it was really helpful to know the perspective of a small development team and how they were able to promote their game.

Part 2: Next class we will have some faculty presenters. This is your chance to ask them anything, no matter how absurd. Post at least one question on your blog. You can post more if you like. I will collate and choose some of the common questions that come up.

It really depends on what type of presenter it is, but if it’s someone who works in the video game industry I would probably want to ask how they find artists to work for their game. What do they look for in an artist or designer when creating a new game?
