Matt Plotecher has been working in the film, video, and interactive media industry for over 15 years, and has been part of the NYC game industry scene since 2007. Working with clients including Microsoft, Nokia, Lionsgate, Konami, and the NFL, Matt has worked on all forms and genres of games: causal, core, Facebook, mobile, ARGs, and, of course, live-action chess-dodgeball. He has had several articles and opinion pieces about gaming and game culture published in websites such as gameindustry.biz and Develop Online, and has handled the duties of Lead Game Designer, Project Manager, Producer, Audio Design, Writer, Q&A, and Happiness Officer (hence the bio title). In his spare time, Matt can be found tinkering with his own games, creating various video journals, trying out new games, laying it down on the basketball court, DMing his local gaming group, and helping little old ladies cross the street. No, seriously -- he really has helped a sweet elderly lady cross the street to the gas station so she could buy lotto tickets. All those years in Boy Scouts have finally paid off!

He currently works as the Senior Game Designer at Selleration.
