Veteran game designer and programmer Chris Foster discusses the eight-year journey to make the indie arcade game Loose Nozzles with his son. Deciding to make a game on his own after two decades of working on teams from 3 to 300 people, Chris’s plans were immediately changed when his then 5-year-old son Ian made a drawing that turned the project into a two-person team effort - or maybe 1.5 people, depending on your math. What were the personal challenges that came with shifting from team-player to nearly-solo developer? How did Chris work with his son without making it feel like actual work? There’ll be inspiration and advice, and not just for developers in elementary school.
We'll also have a casual Zoom hangout after the lecture.
About the Speaker:
Chris Foster (he/him) is Game Director at Hidden Door, helping build a social game platform for playing stories with friends across a variety of shared creative universes. Chris is a 30-year veteran of Boston game development, working as a designer, project lead, teacher, and occasional programmer at places such as Fire Hose Games, Harmonix, Turbine, Sierra/Impressions, and Northeastern University. Among his past work Chris was lead designer for The Beatles: Rock Band, and Lead Content Designer for The Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar. In his dwindling spare time he made Loose Nozzles with his son, and is starting to figure out what he and his daughter are gonna make together.
