TORIN DENNISTON

As I played through the narrative-driven games of my teenage years, like Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, HALO: Combat Evolved, and Warcraft III, I found myself becoming emotionally invested in the characters in a way I hadn’t been with prior, non-interactive stories. Sitting in a cramped room experiencing these universes with my closest friends, I felt a deep desire to help future gamers make memories like the ones we were.

​

​Many things have happened in my life since I first felt that urge. I’ve been a public relations manager, an IT consultant and a strategic designer. But to this day, any time I see a roaring crowd at a game convention, I feel a surge of adrenaline. Not only because I am as excited about the games on display as everyone else, but because I have a moment where I pause. A moment where I think, “I’d love to make those people as happy as they are right now. "

​

Inspired by the games that set me down this path, I want to share this art that has changed my life.
