My name is Andre Marentette. I am a game designer and writer who believes story and narrative deserve an important spot in any game. I have always enjoyed experiencing the new RPG on the market, or reading the newest bestseller on the fantasy wall at the bookstore. I’ve lived in a fantasy world, but imagined it would always be only that – a fantasy.
I grew up in London, Ontario, and earned a degree in English and Classical Studies at the University of Western Ontario. I know what you’re thinking – what do you do with a BA in English? Well, an opportunity to study Game Design at the Vancouver Film School solved that problem, and allowed me to express my creative ideas and gain a better understanding of story in games. The fantasy became reality.
To date I've created many different projects, each with a focus on an area of game design that I'm interested in. Game Design, Level Design, Narrative Design, Art, Cinematics, Lighting, and Music - I have an appreciation and a passion for pretty much every creative aspect of the industry, and I'm constantly developing my talents to showcase and demonstrate my skills. A job in any of these fields is on the horizons for me in the year to come.
