Icarus Studios Writer/Lead Game Designer to Discuss "Fallen Earth"

Wake Technical Community College today announced that Lee Hammock, the lead game designer for "Fallen Earth" at Icarus Studios, will be speaking on Monday, Dec. 11, at 12:15 p.m. in the Technical Education Building, Room 105A, on the college's main campus off of U.S. 401 South. Hammock will provide an overview of the game design process at a small start-up company, talk about a typical work week, and discuss the pros and cons of working for a small company. The lecture, part of a series hosted by the college's simulation and game development curriculum and sponsored by the National Science Foundation, is free and open to the public.

Hammock began writing for role-playing games in 1996 while attending the University of Georgia. After graduating with a bachelor's degree in English and management information systems, he moved to New York City, where he worked in advertising and later for DC Comics. In 2004, he left DC Comics for a full-time writing career, working on projects such as the best-selling "Vs. System Trading Card Game" by Upper Deck Entertainment, the ENnie-nominated role-playing game "Dawning Star," and numerous licensed comic books, including "Halo Graphic Novel." Hammock joined Icarus Studios in 2005.

A new digital game lecture series will begin in January 2007 with all new topics. For more information, contact Walter Rotenberry at (919) 662-3535 or wdrotenb@waketech.edu.
