In August of 2017, the Waypoint documentary team came to record a special about my game grad students and our program at UCSC. In the video you learn about their games, as well as my own role as a Creative Director and instructor. I am just the proudest mama hen.

A Postmortem
"In this postmortem, Ivy Games lead developer Erin Robinson shares the experience of developing her game Gravity Ghost. She provides a detailed breakdown of the many design decisions necessary for turning this experimental gravity mechanic into a complete game. This included frequently abandoning ideas that didn't work, learning what to listen for when playtesting, and staying true to a central theme in every aspect of the art, design, and story."
