I am giving a talk this afternoon at GlitchCon 2017, a local games and game development con here in Minneapolis. Here are my slides:

Slides for my Unity talk at Minnebar
I gave a very similar (but slightly different and less long-winded) talk at Minnebar 2017 to the one I gave a few months ago at Cocoaheads. Probably the only notable difference is the inclusion of a screenshot from my new Unity port of ActionGo, for which I made this 30 second trailer.
Anyway, here are the slides:
GDC / VRDC 2017 Recap
I gave a 7 (-ish) minute presentation tonight at our local VR & HCI meeting. I was one of three folks invited to share their GDC / VRDC experiences. Here are the slides:
Additionally, I was contacted today by a student looking for more information about my experiences in the local game industry. If you are interested in that sort of thing, I’ve posted the transcript below.
Using Unity for iOS Development
I gave a talk last night at the MN Cocoaheads on using Unity for iOS development. Here are the slides I presented:
PSVR – Impressions Slides
I presented this short talk at a MN VR & HCI meetup last night.
Game Idea a Day Slides
Here are the slides from my 10 minute talk on the Game Idea a Day project, presented at MinneBar11.
A Brief Guide to Playing Games at GDC 2016
I’m giving a short talk tonight at igdatc as part of a bunch of folks talking about their GDC experiences.
Let’s face it, playing games is the best part about game development. This is essentially a guide to where you could play games at GDC this year. (It’ll probably be better with my commentary, but then again, maybe it won’t!) Here are the slides:
iOS Game Development in UIKit
I had the privilege to present this talk at MN Developer Conference this afternoon.
The talk is partially a re-hash of a talk I did back in 2011 on iPhone Games Programming, and it’s partially a re-focusing of a talk I did last year on Generic Game Model (my small collection of Objective-C classes for game development).
Realm of the Mobile Database: An introduction to Realm
Today I had the privilege of giving a talk at Mobile March about Realm, a mobile database that I have been using. I spent about three months last year creating a trivia game with Moai Technologies, and we used Realm to store the trivia. Anyway, here are the slides from the talk:
Some Tools for Tabletop Game Design
Below you can find my slides from the presentation I gave at last night’s IGDA Twin Cities meeting.
I think the presentation went okay, but I should have realized ahead of time how boring a topic spreadsheets can be. I saved the demos for the end of the talk, and by the time I got to them, I was really feeling the boredom radiating from all corners of the room. Anyway, I hope these slides are helpful to someone.
While preparing for the talk, I came across an interesting article about the history (origin) of spreadsheets called A Spreadsheet Way of Knowledge.
