A Game Developer Learns to Blog

By Scott Crabtree (Intel) (7 posts) on February 28, 2007 at 2:56 pm

With these words I learn to blog.  Who am I and why do you care?  Good questions; thanks for asking.  ;)  I'm a manager at Intel, working with a great team focused on video games.  I summarize our job as "make gaming better on Intel platforms". 

I get to focus on video games because that's what I've been doing ever since I first wrote "Scubadventure" on an Apple II in high school.  From there I went to kids and family PC games.  Yes, I am the guy behind titles such as "Little Bear's Rainy Day Adventure". :)   

Then I moved onto interesting video-as-input games including early PS2 work with the EyeToy.  Then it was off to New Zealand for a year, where I worked on a rugby game for PS2, X-Box, and PC, before returning to the US to work on mobile phone games.  Finally I worked on the PS2, X-Box, and PC workout 'game' called Yourself!Fitness, before joining Intel.  At Intel, I have the amazing opportunity to work not only on a variety of games, but also on the whole PC gaming industry...which meets next week in San Francisco for the Game Developer's Conference.  I'm very excited about it, and will be posting more from there. 

 I hope to see your questions & thoughts, so I can post about things people actually care to read.  Game on! --Scott

 Welcome, Scott, and thanks for the first post in the new "Gaming" category. :-)

Looking forward to hearing more from you, and checking out your stuff at GDC next week.

manz		 Hey Scott! Interested to know about your input to whether you were working on a new rugby game to coincide with the RWC 07 and whether it looks good so far what they are planning?

 Hey manz,

I actually should have been more specific. I worked on a Rugby League game that was released for multiple platforms in 2003:

Fun! I helped out with design and did some coding for the control system.

Of course that was several years ago. I'm really excited to be going to the Game Developer's Conference next week and see the latest and greatest. I'll be posting a few thoughts here as time allows...stay tuned!
