Marta Fijak (and ignore my intro with Martha - it is Marta, of course!!!)  - On Game Design, Ants, Books, Ants, & many other things...  (Part I) | gamedev Talks | Marta and Fijak and Johanna Pirker discussing tools, techniques, and strategies for game development.  

A biologist and computer scientist by education, a game designer by pure love. Has a fixation on simulating and prototyping, and designing mechanics to invoke emotions. Tried every form of gamedev, from basement indie with 20 players, through a BAFTA nominated game with ~1.5 milion players, up to f2p with ~10 milion players. Has problems with shutting up about design (both during talks and normal human conversation). Recently did society in Frostpunk. Previously a lead game designer at 11 bit studios now creative director at Anshar Studios.
