A: My experience of USC Games far predates my time joining the program as a professor. Then I spent much of my career working here in California. This led me into a 20-year career, starting back in the UK.

I love working on computers, fixing small details to make really excellent gameplay. Video game design is a perfect match for me. When my mother showed me a job advertisement from the local newspaper for a video game studio in the west of England, who were looking for game designers, I leapt at the chance to apply. I had always been both creative and technical. I knew with greater certainty than ever before that video games would be a new art form. Suddenly, the graphics looked incredible. My love for games was rekindled during college, partly through the video games that we played in the college bar and also on the new generation of home computers that had arrived on the scene, like the Commodore Amiga. I had fallen in love with video games as a very young child and grown up playing personal computer games. Q: Was your background in gaming? How did you stumble upon it and get started in the industry? A: Back when I was in college, there were no video game programs. I’ve really been enjoying sinking deeply into it these past weeks. The game is really beautiful, with wonderful game design and a really amazing story. The core gameplay is a little bit like the game Peggle: we have to equip various weapons and armor, and then attack these monsters by bouncing around on them, shattering away their vulnerable outer shells to break the core of the monster, which finally defeats it. Beast Breakers is an action puzzle game about a group of tiny woodland creatures whose home is being invaded by these giant crystalline insectoid monsters. It’s a terrific and innovative indie game developed by Vodeo Games, a studio founded by my friend Asher Vollmer, who’s a graduate of one of our programs. A: So one of the games that I’ve been playing most recently is actually made by an alumni of the USC Games program. Q: Before we officially get started, tell us about a recent game that has caught your eye, what it is and why you’re interested. USC Games sat down with the author, Professor Richard Lemarchand, to discuss how the book can make game development and our life easier. A Playful Production Process: For Game Designers (and Everyone) is the latest book that inspires creativity and helps game designers (and everyone else) avoid crunch. Who else is feeling burned out? Nowadays, it is prevalent in daily life and work.
