Eddie Duggan

As a film maker, Duggan's directorial debut is an animated 14-minute short, a machinima piece entitled "Looking for the Truth" which was screened at the Ma-Machinima International Film Festival in Amsterdam (2011). Duggan's machinima piece has also been shown at an Exploding cinema event in London (2012) and was also featured in the highlights reel of the 2010 MachinimaExpo held in Second Life. Duggan was also involved with the hosting of Machinexpo 2009, providing the venue in form of UCSVille, a second-life island featuring virtual campus created by a computer game design student Radek Spacek. Duggan is also the subject of a case-study for his machinima-related teaching, in which he is credited as something of a pioneer, being one of the first to use machinima creatively in Higher Education.

As a writer of fiction, Duggan is credited with the screenplay Hamsters, which was selected as a Twisted Horror Picture Show short-screenplay finalist in the 2016 Twister Alley Film Festival. His crime genre short-stories have also been published in the now-defunct Blue Murder Magazine and in the British title Crime Time. The latter has also published a number of Duggan's articles about various hardboiled and Noir fiction authors, including Dashiell Hammett, David Goodis and Cornell Woolrich.

Eddie Duggan is also an academic games historian. He hosted the 2014 Board Game Studies Colloquium at UCS (which has since become the University of Suffolk) and subsequently edited a volume of proceedings published by Associação Ludus. As a member of the International Board Game Studies Association, Duggan regularly presents research related to the history of games and has contributed a chapter on Pervasive Games to a collection published by Springer in the Gaming Media and Social Effects series.
