Game Design is Good Design

My name is Erin Robinson Swink. I work at Guerrilla Games as a Senior Quest Designer on Horizon Forbidden West, the sequel to Horizon Zero Dawn.

 

Previously, I was the Creative Director of the Games & Playable Media MS program at UC Santa Cruz, where I had the privilege of helping more than 70 grad students land creative jobs in the game industry.

​

I'm also an indie developer. With my company Ivy Games, I've been creating independent and educational titles for more than a decade. My latest game Gravity Ghost was called 'high art' by Time Magazine and received a perfect 10/10 from Playstation Lifestyle.

Originally launched on Steam for PC, Mac, and Linux, it returned as Gravity Ghost: Deluxe Edition on the PlayStation Store with some new challenge content.
