This is a creative research position; in addition to teaching classes for phenomenal international cohorts of upcoming game devs and helping run the department collaboratively with faculty & staff, your main job is continuing to explore the creative possibilities of games with your own work.

Questions? Curious? I'm the chair, at least until the next election (Fall 2027) so hit me up about the details. We aren't requiring full creative portfolio or letters of rec until you reach the 2nd round, but THE PRELIMINARY DEADLINE IS FEB 23 (in 12 days) because you know, 2026 s%!t is kinda f'd up

Oh that makes sense. I guess I wonder what changed since back then. Maybe that’s it. Higher level bureaucracy and a democractic System

I would bet $$ that if I just picked the top six out of a couple dozen finalists there would still be a near-absolute chance you’d think they were hot trash because either a) you don’t like the same things as me or b) you wouldn’t like any of the applicants to the incubator

“Art” games brimming with “meaning” are ok too but they should also be highly engaging, interactive,& “fun”. It’s not down to personal taste when it comes to great Art. People can be wrong which is fine. I take L’s and move along with new knowledge. I want to make great Art and experience great Art.

Maybe so. Idk I like great art and cool shit. IMO it went from pretty good games to wannabe artist type stuff or overdesigned or just not very saucy. The Art of game dev is about making “fun” aka. engaging games about interaction. Elegance in design. For ppl to “play”. Meaning inherent.
