Dave Szulborski (June 23, 1957 – April 23, 2009) was the first professional independent alternate reality game developer, and an authority on ARGs. His books on the subject are used today in curricula on alternate reality games and transmedia storytelling. His independent games included ''ChangeAgents'', ''Chasing the Wish'', and ''Urban Hunt''. He holds the Guinness World Record for Most Prolific ARG developer. ==Biography== Szulborski started his transmedia career as a beta tester for Majestic, an early attempt at pervasive gaming from Electronic Arts. He spun off his first games, called ChangeAgents, in that universe. One of the first independent ARG developers, Szulborski became well known for his work on indie games Chasing the Wish and Urban Hunt. He wrote ''This Is Not a Game'', the first book on alternate reality games, and launched a career into professional ARG design with his contributions to Art of the Heist. Later in his career, he created ARGs, puzzles, and stories for projects as varied as marketing campaigns and military training exercises. He was also a public speaker and contributing author on the topic of interactive storytelling. Szulborski died in April 2009 of leukemia. Before his death, his battle with the illness prompted friends and fans of his work to create Folding the Wish, a project to send him a thousand origami cranes. Dave has a young son named Tyler David Szulboski who just turned five. He is looking forward to going to school in September and misses his daddy a lot! His wife misses him too! In 2012, Szulborski was posthumously awarded the Guinness World Record for Most Prolific ARG Developer. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dave Szulborski」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
