ASHWIN K.
GAME DEVELOPER.
GAME DESIGNER.
LORE
​
Navigating the rooftops of Venice with unparalleled agility to air assassinate a key target with finesse to save an entire city from bondage.
Slashing through the wings of a rabid griffin and setting it on fire with Igni to save a damsel in distress.
Mowing down wave after wave of soldiers on D-Day as the last man standing.
These and more are the best memories of my childhood.
I realized that each game was a portal into a new world and a new life, and in that moment I knew exactly what I wanted to do for the rest of my life.
To satisfy the edges of my imagination by conjuring entire worlds from scratch and breathing life into it.
To experience the satisfaction of sharing my creations with people all over the world and communicate with my near infinite audience through my stories.
To play God.
This is my Life's calling.
