Steven Egan’s Summary

I'm a 23 year old computer science major and game designer with the goal of getting the game industry and improving the education systems.

Using an idea for a communication and documentation framework, I'm trying to make a central place for interacting and finding who and what could be useful to your personal efforts in education and games, while also helping with the how. More information can be found on my blog.

    Game designer isn't usually a general role, but in this project we are voluntary workers allowed to work on what we want. So, I've tried to work a little on all the areas of the game, or at least give some input on them. The following things have come out of that effort.

    * Created and Maintain an Effective Communication resource for the team
    * Lead and managed a system design effort
    * Co-designed a disabled friendly User Interface for a complex racing game
    * Co-designed the rank/level system
    * Participated in various design discussions

    David Perry and Ruesel DeMaria worked on the book "David Perry on Game Design" for years, and I was one of the content editors.
