If you don't know my name, you might recognize some of my games (Blue Lacuna, The Ice-Bound Concordance, Prom Week, Hollywood Visionary, blueful, 18 Cadence, Almost Goodbye), my book (Creating Interactive Fiction with Inform 7), be impressed by some of the commendations I've received from Indiecade (three times!), the Independent Games Festival (three times!), Kirkus Reviews, Intel, E3, Slamdance, South by Southwest, the New Media Writing Prize, and the UCLA Game Arts Festival. In addition to my own games, I've also collaborated on research projects with Microsoft Studios, and spoken about story in games at places like GDC, GaymerX, and PAX East.
I have a unique perspective on interactive stories as both a technical and creative expert: for many of my games, I've done all of the coding and all of the writing. (Sometimes, a lot of the art, too.) I even have little pieces of paper to back up this cross-disciplinary background: namely, a BA in Film Studies, an MFA in Digital Arts and New Media, and, as of this summer, a Ph.D. in Computer Science.
The Ph.D. has been a chance to do five years of experimental work pushing forward the boundaries of what interactive stories can do. Now that it's over, I'm looking for opportunities to keep using my deep knowledge of both systems building and content creation for interactive narrative. I'm considering freelance contract/consulting work, hopefully with the time to keep making my own games on the side, but am also open to full-time employment at the right place. In my ideal world, I'd like to stay in the greater Bay Area or work remotely, but am keeping all options on the table for now.
If you know of any projects, places, or people that might be interested in working with me, please send them my way! You can find out more about me at aaronareed.net or contact me through my Gmail account: aareed.
