About

Hello fellow and aspiring game designers! My name is Ian Underwood, and on this site you’ll find articles with the lessons on game design that I have learned and want to share with the world, analysis of games that I have played, and maybe some crazy theories. I am a professional game designer, but I can’t claim to know everything about game design. I hope that by writing I’ll gain more knowledge, and by reading my articles you will too.

Experience

I worked at Lightmare Studios, an Australian based game development and traineeship studio, for 7 years as Lead Game Designer. Our flagship title was Infinity Wars, a digital trading card game. While I was there I also worked on several smaller titles which weren’t released publicly, such as games for the traineeship program and R&D prototypes.
