To clarify, I used to be head game designer at Ubi Soft New York when it existed (it's second incarnation, after the first one was moved to Montreal). I worked on mostly web games when it was a major focus for them and assorted titles for the European market. My biggest claim to fame was getting the ball rolling for the console, and portable, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon game, but I was let go shortly after only doing the preliminary planning. From what I can tell, the game turned out like crap, which is rather annoying since it had the potential to be something good (which you can't say about most movie license games). I wonder if my name is even in the credits. I don't have the time, nor the interest, to find out (or money, even if it's only $10 at this point).
Afterwards I started doing game independently. My first game was actually super popular, so much that I had to pull it due to the high cost of traffic. When I did relaunch it, I got banned from the GAF for posting the link (I guess I broke the TOS about spamming, plus it was an adult-ish game
).
Eventually I formed my own company, PixelJump, to make games for cell phones. Plus I'm a consultant and a writer; been writing about games for Nickelodeon Magazine for a few years now, plus I reviewed games for GMR all this year. And as border mentioned, I talk about games and even teach game design...
Which reminds me, my Spring semester class is open for enrollment! If you're interested, please click here.
