Welcome to the portfolio of Nathan Savant

I am a Narrative Systems Designer specializing in memorable quests, living worlds, and rich characters. 

​

I design and code narrative systems which fill virtual spaces with entertaining NPCs and exciting gameplay interactions. I help build moment-to-moment gameplay with storytelling in mind so that your player walks away with a deeper understanding of your game's world.

On this website you'll find sections for both Game and Narrative Design. My approach to interactive storytelling is such that the two are deeply intertwined. Actions speak louder than words and gameplay is therefore the most powerful device writers have for leveraging their work. My skillset focuses specifically on that place in between.

​

My Website breaks down like this:

  • Game Design -  Design Documents and playable samples

  • Narrative Design - Quest design and story-focused design documents, as well as writing samples.

  • Blog - My blog examines existing games as I try to break them down and understand how they work.
