Description

What do Gaymers want? What makes them different? How do we make games they will love (and why should we even try)? These are the questions that Game Designer Paul S. Nowak sought to answer when he conducted the industry's most-recent academically admissible research into the connection between sexual identity and video game playing preferences. Here, for the first time, he presents the results of his international survey of gay gamers, including guidelines for making successful homosexual content in games and real-world case studies of their successful implementations.

Author Biography:

Currently designing games in his new home of Los Angeles, CA, Paul is thrilled to be gaining valuable experience as a game designer. He is most proud of his accomplishments as Senior Game Designer/Producer on Team USA's Pinsanity, a social/mobile game for the US Olympic Team, and for his design work on Disney's Pixie Hollow (an online virtual world starring Tinkerbell and her fairy friends.) Having graduated as valedictorian from the Master's of Science in Video Game Design program at Full Sail University, Paul has proven himself to be an exceptional student and a valuable asset to his community. During his time at the University, Paul became the first Master's Degree candidate to pursue the opportunity to conduct new, independent and academically admissible research with the help of an Internal Review Board. His research into the correlation between sexual identity and video game playing preferences has proved invaluable in designing games for all market segments. Having gotten several credits to his name, Paul hopes to continue designing games while working toward his dream of being the Creative Director of a major title.
