Hi, I’m Shawn Stone. I am a professional game designer. I have been in the game industry for more than two decades. I have led teams of game designers and operated as a sole principle designer on projects. I have been a generalist designer, comfortable with systems design, content design, combat design and balancing, writing, interacting with the localization process, prototyping and iterating in software myself. Overall, I prefer to keep closely involved on whatever project I’m working on, making important decisions and conducting experiments in software to find what is the optimal, most fun that I can create to meet both creative and business goals.
