Jesse Schell is amazing. His book was my first intruduction to Game Design, and now I love designing games.

[@edohox]

Trully an inspiring lecture, may it give some light on the visionary future we're all working for!

[@danecustance2734]

Excellent, the psychological aspect was particularly fascinating.

[@cutswift]

Fantastic talk.

[@darkrathamantis]

@StarWoors Indeed. If I'd to recommend just one book to an aspiring game designer it would be Jesse Schell's book.

[@1Starsky11]

Jesse is a little excited today...

[@IanMoncrieffMacMillan]

Important stuff covered here!

Health insurance companies are already doing a lot of the things mentioned in the video. If I use my Humana Vitality card while grocery shopping at Walmart and make good food choices, I get a 5% rebate on the cost of purchases made for the next time I shop. Who wouldn't want to save money? Also - just heard that the airlines are talking about charging individual oversees rates to fly based upon the total weight of luggage AND passenger!

@StarWoors Well, the book has been a good source of inspiration for new ideas, but i find that the book is better at helping me refine those ideas (by using the lenses).

EA laid off 1500 employees, bought Playfish (which is a social game company that was going under) for 300M. I think the WTF factor comes in on why you would lay off all those employees and then buy something which is going to be hard to support. Google EA Playfish & EA 1500 Full Time Employees & you'll get more to the story.

@darkrathamantis I'm just getting into it (the book) and its excellent. Has Schell's book enabled you to come up with some good game or toy ideas yet? Again I just got started and have many....

[@npmargarita]

can someone please explain the ea, employees, playfish, money equation?

Can someone explain to me what the equation about "EA employees + the purple fish thingy - the money" Meant??? I have now idea what he was trying to say with that...

[@JustinLawrence73]

I think he's referring to this: www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/ea-buys-playfish-and-then-lays-off-1500-employees/

@darkrathamantis GREAT!

[@StarWoors]
