It doesn’t say so on the site yet, but I am on the program for next year’s GDC Mobile<\/a>.1<\/a><\/sup> Yesterday I got the email that my talk — titled Designing a Casual Social Gaming Experience for Generation C<\/em> — has been accepted. To be honest I was quite surprised. I work in the blurry overlap of the interaction design and game design fields, have no actual game titles under my belt and proposed a weird subject to boot. Who in their right mind would invite me to speak? Of course I am also really excited about this. GDC<\/abbr> is the<\/em> professional event for the games industry so I’m honored to be part of it.2<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

My talk will be closely related to the things I’ve been working on for Playyoo<\/a>. I’ll discuss how short-session mobile games and a web based meta-game can interconnect to create a social game experience that allows different levels of player engagement. I’ll look at the ways you can align your game design with the expectations of Generation C<\/a>: customization & personalization, recombination and connectedness. I might post the extended abstract sometime in the future, for now I’m just wondering: Who else is going to GDC? What would you like to see me discuss?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Update:<\/strong> The conference site has been updated, here’s the description of my session<\/a>.<\/ins><\/p>
