Nathan Baran is Looking for Work:
Artful, demanding, galvanizing work in the interactive entertainment industry:
I'm a recent graduate of Carnegie Mellon University's Entertainment Technology Center, where I focused on game design and storytelling in games.
I'm a proponent of goal-focused design, rapid prototyping and iteration, and--to paraphrase legendary game designer Ken Rolston--for designers to serve as a project's creative scouts, who venture into the unknown frontiers of possibility and return to their teams with the cartographic evidence of what they witnessed. I'm interested in delving heedlessly into any game design challenge, regardless of platform, genre, or audience.
Narratively, I'm excited about contributing to the increasingly sophisticated realm of video game stories and subject matter (particularly with regard to transformational and socially conscious games), and can assist your team with any element of games-writing, from worldbuilding to dialogue.
