In honor of Father’s Day, Gamasutra has a series of interviews with game industry dads. The piece explores how being a dad affects their work, how/what the play with the kids, etc. I was interviewed as well (bottom of page 4), and my two gremlins were pictured: Gabriel, 4.5, and Eva, 2.
This reminds me of Erin Hoffman’s excellent parents-as-great-developers article from a few months back. Also, makes me think about how far ahead the curve we are, as gaming parents, compared to the “average” parent out their embracing games (as some so impressively share the value of gaming in their relationship with their kids).

I wrote up a piece about the same article in my blog. But I was coming from the other direction, how my parents embraced gaming and as such I was interested in getting involved in the industry:)
Adorable kids, btw:)

Thats part of why I love games, when I’m working on games it feels less like “Work” (and I’ve had a few jobs that felt that way, very very “WORK”). Its great to do something that your family can relate to.
