As an artist at the ETC, I continue to employ and improve my 3D modeling and animation skills. Inspired by series like Halo and Elder Scrolls most interested in creating worlds that liberate players by allowing them to impose their will rather than force them to follow a path laid out by a designer. Outside the ETC, I work at a startup aerodynamics company, designing and patenting fuel saving devices for long haul trucks.

Hey there! I am John Shields, a game designer.

I am currently learning a whole lot in the Master’s Program over at Entertainment Technology Center. I have a background in Psychology from Carnegie Mellon.

I love designing and playing multiplayer experiences be it cooperative, competitive, symmetrical or asymmetrical gameplay. You can usually catch me reading design blogs and Gamasutra articles, giving feedback to my peers on the designs of their games, watching conference videos, or designing paper prototypes of mechanics and systems in my spare time. I also really enjoy playing racquet-based sports!
