About Me

Salutations, my name is Robert Kohls, but most people call me Bobby. I am a Senior Game Design Major with a Minor in creative writing. I've always been facinated by stories and how we tell them. When I first started playing games I was instantly drawn into the worlds and narrative. It was this reason that led my choice to study Game Design. I believe that games are a truly unique medium when it comes to telling a story as the player gets to be an active participant in how it all unfolds. For my senior capstone I got the chance to be a part of the narrative team as a primary writer, and I loved crafting the setting and characters that populate it. Someday I hope to have the chance to write for games in the industry, but until then I seek to hone my skills.
