Welcome
And thanks for visiting my website! My name is Francisco Souki and I am currently a Game Designer at Schell Games in Pittsburgh, PA. Please feel free to roam around and just click on the Contact tab if you want more info on anything you see around here - or if you just feel like telling me something.
I have stuff to say...
... Which is why I keep a design blog and am part of a podcast.
Listen to the Podcast - it's called Friends on Play, and it's awesome.
My work on the Internet!
* I gave a talk at GLS 8.0 about designing game mechanics for Incidental Learning. (Starts at the 27 min. mark and you'll need Silverlight).
* My piece about Chrono Trigger was published in Well Played 3.0, alongside some pretty well-known names. I gave a talk at GLS 7.0 about the same topic.
* I presented at PAX Dev 2011 with the Friends on Play crew.
* My piece about Mario 64 was published in Well Played 2.0.
* Depero Futuristi was selected among the best of the Performa 09 festival by New York Magazine.
* Several articles from my Design Blog, Intelligent Design, have been featured in Gamasutra. My piece on game mechanics that tell stories was selected as blog post of the week, also at Gamasutra.
* Balloon Man was featured by Greg Costikyan on the blog Play This Thing.
