In the news: ICS lecturer helps develop video game

The Green Bay Press-Gazette on Sunday (Nov. 8) featured a cool story about UW-Green Bay lecturer Ben Geisler, Information and Computing Science, who helped develop an independent video game called “Minimum.” Geisler, a programmer who spent nearly 15 years in the gaming industry, turned down an opportunity to work on the latest Call of Duty video game, the story says, opting instead to work on a game he could play with his 9- and 12-year-old sons. He worked as part of a team at Madison-based Human Head Studios to develop the game, described in the story as “a third-person shooter game that at first glance appears to be a Lego-like game set in a Minecraft world.” Full story.
