T6 Flashback 10 - Interview with CLint Hocking of Ubisoft

Episode 41 of T6 is flashback number 10.

From FuturePlay 2006 an interview with Clint Hocking. Clint has been working for Ubisoft in Montréal for five years. Most recently he worked as scriptwriter, lead level designer and creative director on SPLINTER CELL: CHAOS THEORY. Before games he worked in the web industry and experimented with independent filmmaking while earning a masters’ degree in Creative Writing from the University of British Columbia. He lives happily in Montréal with his fiancé and his dog.

Clint and I talked about the future of game design and the fact that games need not just be fun, they could also be what Clint calls 'engaging'. There is a whole other market out there beyond the 18-34 year old males.

Clint is working on a project currently for Ubisoft, but I could not get it out of him. Perhaps Sam Fisher knows....

Music in this episode from The Rantings of EVA and Battery Life.

Listen and enjoy....
