Game Designer, Programmer, and a Few Other Things
Living a Creative Life
Welcome to my personal website! I’m Blake Barton. I’m a professional game developer with over three years of professional experience in the industry. Before I started getting paid for it, I wore a lot of hats working on games as a hobby. For my game Augur I had to be a designer, programmer, artist, composer (with a little help from friends!), and writer. I love every part of the process.
Outside of video games, I also design and run tabletop RPGs, write a little fiction, play the piano, and spend too much time on letterboxd. I can’t help but always be working on something.
