“Jason is, simply put, a wizard of game design. He has been summoning forth new practical tools for designers to leverage for years now. Based in peer-reviewed psychology research, these tools maintain their relevance and Jason is uniquely suited to implement them on projects under his purview. As a leader, Jason is a visionary. His ability to find resonant messages to rally a team around and then deliver them with conviction, inciting the passions of his co-workers, is uncanny. But while he is spellbinding and charismatic, he is also very approachable and genuinely affable. Given his formidable depth of experience, Jason is also extremely knowledgeable about the ins and outs of triple-A development. Combined with his ability to inspire true belief, he is very effective at helping his teams navigate around the many project-destroying pitfalls of development. Jason is also a very generous teacher, offering up his time to many mentees. It is in this capacity that I first had the pleasure of learning from him, before we actually got to work together, and he has imparted many useful lessons about the craft of game design and the secrets of successful collaboration to me. There is no one else quite like Jason in the industry. It has been an honor to work with Jason and a pleasure to learn from him. I look forward to continuing refining my craft under his instruction and would enjoy the opportunity to work with him again in the future.”

Far Cry 3
-
Acted as Far Cry 'Brand' CD and then as FC3 Narrative Director during world & story design and initial build-out. After a successful conception phase, I moved on to other projects, so calling Far Cry 3 one of 'my' games is a stretch at best - but I suppose there is a lot of my work in there. I've learned to say it this way: the team would certainly have made *a* Far Cry 3 had I not had my 9 months on the project... but it would have been a very *different* Far Cry 3.
