Michael Amato
Senior Game Designer
currently working on an unannounced FPS title, in Unreal 5, for PC/Console
From a young age, I’ve always enjoyed being creative. Whether it was captivating listeners with stories, creating obscure games to play with friends, or telling a good joke, I knew I wanted to somehow parlay my creativity into some form of entertainment.
​
Whether it was defeating a difficult boss or being shocked at a huge plot twist, I was always fascinated with games. As a teenager, I took it upon myself to use level editors in games and RPG maker to fuel my creativity.
​
I've always had a passion for creative writing as well. One of my earliest recollections is my grade two teacher telling my parents that I was the most talented creative writer in the class. Since then, I've continued to write as a hobby and for many game projects I've worked on.
​
Aside from game design and writing, I am an avid sports fan and player, a film and TV buff and an experienced traveler. Being part of a baseball league for over twenty years has shaped me into a great team player, ready to fill any role the team needs. My other hobbies and experiences have had many benefits as a designer and writer as well.
​
I believe that my way with words, my passion for understanding how to keep people entertained, and my team player mentality along with my design sense will aid me in having a successful career.
