Christopher Colton Email & Phone Number

I'm a QA Analyst with over fifteen years of experience, including lead roles, having worked on multiple projects across the PC and mobile platforms. I also have well-developed writing and narrative skills and experience with the game design process, putting me in a good position to transition into a professional game design role.For several years I have been analyzing gameplay for errors and exploits, as well as analyzing game narratives for both textual errors and plot development issues. I have over ten years of experience not only with general tools such as Jira, Microsoft Excel, TestRail, and Photoshop, but also with crafting my only projects using game creation tools such as StarEdit, RPGMaker 2000, and Galaxy Map Editor, in addition to multiple Dungeons and Dragons campaigns. Though my career thus far has largely been in QA, I would like to break into the game design space to flex my creative muscles in a more direct fashion.Professionally I have pushed several initiatives through at my various jobs, including transitioning one development team into a more defined content delivery schedule that nearly eliminated delayed updates; and transitioning an entire QA department from a buggy, unsupported test case management system to a third-party suite of test case management software.Privately I have developed several game prototypes, a full campaign of quests for Cryptic's Neverwinter MMO, and together with a group a three-part campaign for StarCraft 2 known as the Antioch Chronicles - and I'm not stopping, with an Antioch sequel currently in development and many more ideas percolating in my brain.
