About Christopher Mitchell

I am an experienced game developer and educator with a very successful history of making successful games. Over the years I've done core game design, game scripting, sound design, and voice direction as well as written all the scripts for our games while helping to lead teams in the creation of the highest quality game content. Additionally I've had the pleasure of auditioning, casting, organizing and managing large casts of Hollywood talent. Most recently I've mentored hundreds of small game teams to success as Head of the School of Creative Technologies at Vancouver Film School. In one year as Head of School, we made VFS Game Design the #1 School in Canada, #8 Worldwide (Princeton Review Rankings), beating schools with many times our resources. Over the course of my career I've achieved approximately fifteen million sales across all SKUs working with existing properties or helping to establish brand new IP.CreditsTrailer Park Boys Greasy Money Android/iOSSnipers Versus Thieves Android/iOSThe Muscle Hustle Android/iOSDeathSpank The Baconing XBLA/PSN/PC/MACSwarm XBLA/PSNDeathSpank Thongs of Virtue XBLA/PSN/PC/MACDeathSpank XBLA/PSN/PC/MACPenny Arcade OTRSPOD Episode Two XBLA/PSN/PCCrash Mind over Mutant Xbox360/PS2/WiiCrash Of The Titans Xbox360/PS2/WiiCrash: Tag Team Racing Xbox/PS2/GamecubeSimpsons: Hit & Run Xbox/PS2/Gamecube/PCDark Angel Xbox/PS2373 Student project games and counting3 Unity Award wins, 6 Unity Award nominations I wrote Simpsons: Hit & Run and Crash: Tag Team Racing, as well as Crash Of The Titans and Crash Mind over Mutant.
