Guest Speaker

Scott will be talking about “World Creation in Games” at this month’s Short Guys general meeting. If you are developing a game or a game mod, or if you are studying games, then this meeting will be of special interest to you.

Scott Peterson works in Dallas at Reel FX Creative Studios, and was previously a Game Designer with Digital Anvil/Microsoft Game Studios in Austin.

Scott gave a speech at Industy Giants 2006 entitled “Designing for Tomorrow’s Game Platforms”, discussing game console improvements and how designers are using increased power to create more visually compelling game environments. Peterson counts Freelancer, Brute Force and Enwor among his game credits and Spawn, The Nutty Professor and Spy Kids among his film credentials.

A Bunch of Short Guys is built and run by volunteers. From the elected members of the Executive Committee, to Community Ambassadors, to sub-committee members, to the Student Volunteers who man the entrances at Industry Giants, every event and meeting is coordinated and executed by volunteers.
