JAY CROWE

Director, developer, designer, writer, producer and – beyond the fancy titles – creator.

Lucky enough to have worked alongside some truly gifted colleagues – creating games and platforms in the service of splendid communities – in some special places around the world. 🇬🇧 🇨🇿 🇳🇱 🇨🇦 🇰🇷

background

I first got into making games by creating a mod of Islay – a small island off the west coast of Scotland, and one of my favourite places to visit - featuring POIs based upon its many famous whisky distilleries 🗺️🥃

Since then, I've had the opportunity to create sandbox worlds, write and direct narratives, design systems and modes, manage live-ops, present at expos, plan and review milestones, pitch original IPs, set up new studios – and more besides!

passions

🕺 sandbox gameplay 🌎 rich worlds 🧰 creative communities 🚀 ambitious projects 🧙 unorthodox teams 👨‍🔬 new technologies 👨‍🎨 user-generated content 📗 innovative storytelling 👀 as little UI as reasonably possible

My all-time favourite project was a small charity DLC, Laws of War, an unorthodox narrative I helped to write, direct, and develop together with friends, which we made in cooperation with the Red Cross.
