About Jason Roberts

Game Designer with 25+ years of experience leading design teams, building systems, and creating content for franchises including DragonAge, Diablo, StarCraft, Guild Wars, and EverQuest.I combine design direction with technical execution: guiding both small and large design teams while also prototyping and implementing complex gameplay systems and content. My career spans multiple roles and specialties within game development, live service operations, startup, and international launch environments. In addition to leading teams, I remain hands-on with design and technical implementation. Whether prototyping systems, building content pipelines, or collaborating across disciplines to ensure innovative gameplay and enjoyable player experiences.
