Hello! I foolishly neglected to update this site for GDC. In the meantime, please visit my USC blog or wait a few moments for a redirect.

Under Construction

This site is, regrettably, a little out of date! Please visit my USC blog for slightly fresher content.

• Joe is working on a small summer game project with two of his entering USC cohort.
• Joe gave talks on game writing and game semiosis April 19th at RIT's Game Development Club.
• Joe was awarded an Annenberg Fellowship at USC!
• Joe attended GDC SF 2009, and will start writing about it in a little while.
• Joe has been accepted to USC's Interactive Media Division!
• Joe is designing a multiplayer online game that's two parts Majesty and one part Rogue (in Erlang, no less!).
• Joe researched Bayesian and other classifiers for an RSS aggregator.
• Joe began to play with löve, a 2D game engine built on Lua, SDL, and Box2D.
• Joe did some major spring computer cleaning, and is currently looking for ways to automate his processes.
• Joe visited USC's Interactive Media Division and was quite impressed with the weekly seminar.
