Borut Pfeifer's Blog   Expert Blogs

I’m a freelance game developer currently working on a downloadable character puzzle game set in Iran during the post-election riots. I’ve worked at EA, Sony Online Entertainment, Radical, and before that my own start-up (White Knuckle Games). I’ve taught in the Vancouver Film School’s Game Design program. I’ve written articles for the Game Programming Gems series, Gamasutra, and more.

I also blog at the Plush Apocalypse.
