PlayCrafting Student Spotlight Update

It was a delight to hear from my former game writing students at PlayCrafting. They attended the one-night Game Writing Portfolio Workout sessions or the multi-week intensive Game Writing Primer course. Here are some highlights!

Kyle Erf made a career switch. He is now Director of Technology at Moving Pieces Interactive, makers of Dodo Peak, available on Apple Arcade and Nintendo Switch. He describes his current position as the "best job I've ever had." 
 


Christopher Graf is part of the team working on the upcoming mobile title, Petzebeville, coming in 2021.


Mary Georgescu is starting a new job as a game designer at Exploding Kittens. She received her MFA in Game Design from NYU. She is a co-founder of Eat Melon Studio, which was part of the 2020 NYU Game Center Incubator. The studio's storytelling game Nothing to See Here! will be coming out soon.


Sande Chen is a writer and game designer with over 15 years of experience in the game industry.  Her writing credits include 1999 Independent Games Festival winner Terminus, MMO Hall of Fame inductee Wizard101, and the 2007 PC RPG of the Year, The Witcher, for which she was nominated for a Writers Guild of America Award in Videogame Writing.  She is the co-author of the book, Serious Games: Games That Educate, Train, and Inform, and was a contributor to Secrets of the Game Business, Writing For Video Game Genres, and Professional Techniques for Videogame Writing.
