Game design bootcamp

Posted on 8:59 AM by Unknown
Wow ... I am a bit envious of the students who got to participate in Michigan's game design bootcamp featuring Sid Meier (of Civilization), Brian Reynolds (Alpha Centauri) and others.

Game design (though I was thinking more of board games back then) was one of the handful of careers I thought about, along with architecture and marketing, on the way to becoming an academic economist.

Turns out too that Sid and his three kids are all UM alums. Go Blue!
