Jarryd Huntley, independent game designer and co-author of The 2016 Game Career Guide, will give a lecture Wednesday on “Game Development in Flyover States.”

The lecture will begin at 7 p.m. in the Sun Room of the Memorial Union and will be free for all to attend.

Huntley will talk about how the rise of independent development and mid-size studios made the development of games outside of traditional West Coast hubs more viable, according to the Iowa State events page.

The 2016 Game Career Guide is available to download for free on gamasutra.com.
