About Kalen

Kalen grew up in and around the game development industry, and has been making games of various sorts pretty well his whole life. From early experiments on an old Commodore 64, to modding Elder Scrolls games and creating extensive homebrew TTRPG content, developing interactive experiences has been a lifelong focus.

A voracious reader with a background in creative writing, Kalen brings a love of strong narrative experiences to the games he works on, even when those narratives aren't necessarily linear or static—such as gameplay systems that produce emergent storytelling.

Kalen has contributed to many major AAA titles over the years, from Mortal Kombat to Tomb Raider and more. After years of working on big-budget projects, he's made the decision to refocus on the indie dev scene, working on smaller games with more experimental gameplay.
