Hip news. I was elected to the IGDA’s board of directors. My term starts March 1st.

The Savannah Chapter of the International Game Developers Association will be meeting Tuesday, April 1st at Siciliano’s Restaurant on Whitemarsh Island. Speaker will be Jason Mauer who will talk on character design.

Walter Thompson. Maurer also produced and directed the award-winning tutorial series “Windows Without Headaches” and designed station packages for Fox. His work has been featured in Odyssey Productions’ “The Gate Beyond The Mind’s Eye,” and he has won numerous accolades for animation, including 7 Telly Awards and an Addy.
