Warren Spector Welcomes Paul Weaver to the UT Master Class
On Monday, November 12, Paul Weaver will be Warren Spector's guest for the UT Master Class. Paul Weaver is currently the Director of Development at Junction Point Studios here in Austin,Texas. In the past he has been the Executive Producer at Visual Concepts and prior to that he was the Senior Producer at Ion Storm. In Spector's words, "This is one of the best producers I've had the privilege of working with." Mr. Weaver will be drilling down more than past guests on the actual process of making a game, managing a team, a budget and a timeline. In addition, he's coming off a movie license game, so he has some insight into working with Hollywood.
So join us for another Monday at the University of Texas with Warren Spector and his video game industry guests.
