| Noah Falstein has brainstormed with George Lucas and Steven Spielberg and worked on some of the world's best known games. This is his game development philosophy... | | Date Created: Nov 22, 2005, 08:41 AM |
 Noah Falstein was among the first ten employees at Lucasfilm Games (now LucasArts Entertainment), The 3DO Company, and Dreamworks Interactive. He was project leader for the classic arcade game Sinistar, the PC titles PHM Pegasus and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, and co-designer of Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis. He has worked with game developers, educators, writers, and filmmakers at brainstorming sessions with George Lucas and Steven Spielberg. He was the first elected chairman of the CGDA (now International Game Developers’ Association).
In this interview Noah talks about what he has learned from time spent on some of the world's most sophisticated and innovative game projects. He talks about the trends and philosophies of the game industry, the changes in technology and the impact of games on our lives (and the lives of our children). He also describes recent path breaking work he has embarked on for more "serious" games, that can be used in education, for the military and for business. These simulations, hypotheticals and learning experiences are teaching us new things about how our brains work and revealing unexpected keys to creativity.
