You can read the full article about our work on movement mechanics in games and how they create emotion and social connection--by following this link to the full story.

Future of game characters

Sad that I missed Jesse Schell's excellent talk on the future of game characters at this year's Unite conference in Montreal. You can see the video here (skip to minute six to go straight to Jesse).

Definitely appreciate the shout-out that Jesse gave about my book on game character design :) Thanks to Brian Winn of MSU for letting me know!
