Joshua Darlington's Blog

I'm an NYU, UCLA & Groundlings trained screenwriter with a background in classic pen and paper RPGs (Game Master).  Yes, I actually like those AAA cut scene games.  

I'm intertested in dynamic story balancing using top down narrative, bottom up narrative, socially mediated narrative, and computational narrative.  

As of August 2012, I'm working on an indy mobile game with a Finnish team led by Olli Sinerma.
