I'm a beginner game designer, with almost 15 years studying game design and developing tons of game prototypes, home-made or academic. I develop both electronic and board games, and I'm specialist creating, refining and analysing game systems (mechanics, rules, structures). That's what I use to talk about here. As I'm Brazilian, Christian, and completely a soccer lover, it's common for me to discuss game design topics using soccer games and principles as a reference. But even with that, I talk about a broad range of topics, covering many types of games and game genres. I'm available to job offerings in Game Design, Game Production or 3D art (even this doesn't being my greatest expertise), in Brazil or any other country. I teached Game Design courses around Brazil for some years, was part on one of the first Brazilian books about Game Design, and prototyped several games and game design docs. I am completely capable of developing any kind of game with any spec, current-gen or not, especially soccer games! \0/ |

| We all play games, but how do we select them? In which order, and when? How do our life habits interfere on this? In this post, I want to share my vision on the subject, and maybe it could bring any useful thoughts to you. (Text taken from my website.) |

| A simple (but concise) look at how poisoning our production habits became, and how simple it is to start trying safely to get out this situation. Random thoughts ahead: there's nothing fancy, but simple daily observation. |

| Much is being said about the 2009 E3's new controllers announced, but too few is being said about how this will evolve and what users and the industry wants. In this article, I want to spice up this hot subject. |

Scott, you explained part of ... Scott, you explained part of what I stated in a less harsh way. Again, that's a much more complex subject to talk than simply commenting here.

@ Christopher Wragg: I completely ... @ Christopher Wragg: I completely agree, religion is as escapist as videogames.
