ABOUT JONATHAN MELCHIADE

I\'m a passionate, driven designer who\'s always eager to excel, learn, and grow alongside a team to create incredible gameplay experiences. Besides building great games, I enjoy playing them!Throughout the decade of making games, I\'ve had the awesome opportunity to work on some incredible games with even more incredibly talented people. I\'ve made quests and improvements for authoring them in Diablo 4, Designed missions and scripted combat encounters for Destiny 2 (including the Last Word exotic weapon quest- which still holds a special place in my heart), PvP maps for games like Far Cry 4, and Rainbow 6 and worked on my first VR game with Star Trek Bridge Crew. More recently, I\'ve led a team of incredibly talented people to build awesome PvE encounters, enemies, and vehicle gameplay remotely to awesome success! I genuinely love working on games and with people, creating memorable experiences that carry with you throughout time and leaving a lasting impression of fun to go along with it.Besides project-related work, I also just enjoy collaborating and talking about the games we dream of making. I love finding ways to re-ignite our passion - I\'ve started and managed studio-wide game jams, ran a book club of games and invited everyone who wanted to participate, and even ran an internal podcast as a way for us to talk about each other and the things we love in and outside of games.
