Michael Curtin

Adjunct Faculty - Informatics / Game Studies and Design, University of Illinois at Urbana / Champaign 

For three years I’ve taught a class with a unique dependency; each semester I need a detailed plan for a video game - a narrative, locations, characters - and a gameplay loop that ties it all together. AI helps to meet this need, but rather than using it to generate content, I leverage it as a framework for quickly externalizing, organizing and iterating ideas - all before any real creative labor takes place.
