Since then I’ve taken... Read→

welcome to Lauren Pears Website

I’m Lauren Pears, Project Manager/Associate Producer and co-owner of the fledgling Seadragon Studio.

This site is the platform that will support some of my primary professional interests, namely: Process Modelling for games development, independent games and app development for social media, and general interest in the news and business of making games.

It’s a new website for a new year, with many thanks to Guy Blomberg for an excellent design and for supporting this site, which I hope will become a place for collaboration and discussion for how production processes can contribute to making better games, better ways. Welcome! --Lauren
