Jesse Schell: Real-Money vs Virtual Currency Gaming, "Design Outside the Box" Presented @DICE

Jess Schell is one of the most influential and forward thinking visionaries in game design. From his official bio: "Prior to starting Schell Games in 2004, Jesse Schell was the Creative Director of the Disney Imagineering Virtual Reality Studio, where he worked and played for seven years as designer, programmer and manager on several projects for Disney theme parks and DisneyQuest, as well as on Toontown Online, the first massively multiplayer game for kids.

"Schell is also on the faculty of the Entertainment Technology Center at Carnegie Mellon University, where he teaches classes in Game Design and serves as advisor on several innovative projects. Formerly the Chairman of the International Game Developers Association, he is also the author of the award winning book The Art of Game Design: A Book of Lenses."

Schell Games' latest endeavor: creating a video game based on the box office hit The Mummy.

"Easily the most comprehensive, practical book I've ever seen on game design."
Will Wright, on The Art of Game Design"
