Mark Nauta: Game Design

Hello!  As you may have already guessed, my name is Mark Nauta.  I'm a game developer currently living in Chicago in the midst of attaining a Master's in Computer Game Development at DePaul University.  Making games has always been my dream and now that I'm actually doing it, I couldn't be happier.

I am both a game designer and programmer and fall comfortably into roles where I can do a bit of both.  Hence, I call myself a Technical Designer.  Sometimes I'm crafting the player's experience or designing a level, and other times I'm making a player controller or writing enemy AI.  In general, my design and programming knowledge complement each other well, and allow me to bring my ideas, and the ideas of others, to life.

If you want to contact me, here's my email:

If you're more of a jobby type, here's my resumé:

In my free time when I'm not making games I enjoy playing them as well.  I also write and play music, and do a little stand-up comedy.  Bboying (or breakdancing) is an old love which I hope to return to soon.

Hope to hear from you!
