At our Portland chapter, Jonathan Blow gives a call to buck negative constraints and inspire awe in modern game design. An independent video game developer, Jonathan is best known as the creator of Braid.
He’s been developing a new game called The Witness with a team of 3D modelers, programmers, and architects since 2009. It will be released when it is done, hopefully in late 2013. He’s interested in pushing gaming to its full realization as an art form and speaks on the exciting medium of video games and ways in which forward-thinking designers are pushing the it.
The speaker at December’s CreativeMornings/Edmonton was Grant Skinner, an internationally recognized leader in the field of rich interactive experiences. His body of work spans experimental interaction, applications, games, websites, installations, embedded devices, and mobile, with a recent focus on projects that span multiple environments. Grant fuses his experience with design, user experience, development, and business with a driving creativity to produce projects that push the boundaries of interactive technologies.
Aptly titled “Adventures in HTML5,” in this talk, Grant speaks on spearheading the development of the CreateJS suite of open source libraries and tools for building rich interactive content using modern web standards. AA great watch for developers, designers, and everyone in between.
A huge hate tip to Bernie Roessler for videography work.
