If you attended the IGDA members-only party at GDC 2008, you played a game I designed! I was responsible for the social networking card game played by over 1,500 game developers at that party! 

You can download the game cards here.

Chris Keeling
Welcome! I am a game writer / designer looking for a challenging position at an exciting cutting-edge game studio. My Curriculum Vitae can be found on the pages of this website, along with links to samples of some of my work.
  • I have a rich blend of skills that allow me to function well in both game writing and game design.
  • In each of the game development positions I have held, I have been able to contribute to documentation, design, community development, and testing.
  • I am an avid technologist, with extensive experience with publishing tools, moderate Web programming skills, marketing and Web content development, and design and specification experience in multiple game types.
  • My extensive reading, writing, gaming, and military background, combined with my studies in history, languages, and game design, gives me a good feel for fictional cultures, mission balance, and gritty realism.
  • I have a variety of experience outside of game development to complement my work in the game development community, including managing writing teams, editing, and advocating Agile development methodologies.
  • I am a gamer; I cut my teeth on board wargames, video games, and fantasy roleplaying games in the 1970's and I still play all kinds of MMO, RPG, FPS, strategy games, pen and paper games, miniatures games, and traditional wargames.
I can also be found on LinkedIn (where I manage the Game Writing Group, with over 600 members) and the International Game Developers Association's Game Writers Special Interest Group (where I am a Committee member).

Some of the areas in which I can help make your game better include:
  • Game Writing
  • Game Design
  • Editing
  • Community Management
  • Technical Writing
  • Strategy Guides
