About


My name is Ian Schreiber, and I've worked in the game industry as a programmer and game designer since 2000. I've worked on seven shipped titles, including online trading card games, console games, and even some "serious games" for corporate training. I've consulted on a variety of additional titles, and at any given time I can probably tell you that I'm working with NDA for NDA on NDA.

I've also taught college students how to make games, since 2006. I've worked with two-year and four-year colleges and universities, both in person and online. I've taught classes, created course content, and consulted for curriculum development. I co-authored the book Challenges for Game Designers, and created the content for a free online class in game design.

I'm a proud member of the IGDA (since 2003). I co-founded the Global Game Jam, I'm an active member of the Education SIG, and I'm one of the local coordinators of the Columbus Chapter.

Over my lifetime, I've saved 85 princesses, defeated 63 evil wizards, and prevented the destruction of the universe 124 times. You probably owe me your life for this without even realizing it.
