About Me
I'm A Storyteller Focused on evoking Powerful Emotions from players via Intelligent, Memorable, and Unique Enemy and Combat Designs.
Hello! my name is Jake, or Oph, Rider! I'm a Game Designer with a strong focus on Enemy AI design and Combat design. I Graduated from Savannah College of Art and Design, Cum Laude, with a BFA in Interactive Development and Game Desgin. I've been a Game Master for Tabletop RPG's for almost 10 years at this point (I feel old) and I love any kind of game that lets you tell a story with it's gameplay. While Ludonarrative is certainly a fancy buzz word I feel as though it's the cornerstone to making memorable experiences that can affect players emotionally. I firmly believe that Enemy and Combat design can facilitate games as a medium to truly evoke feeling in players unlike any other!
