Fifth Period Game Design

To compliment Erin Hoffman's excellent take on the subject of game design programs at the community college and university level, The Escapist recently contacted Matt Deller, long-time teacher and former a member of the development team behind Neverwinter Nights. Matt is now a high school assistant principal in Southern California's Pomona Unified school district, and the mastermind behind the nation's first high school game design program - and the only one fronted by a former developer.
