About Me
Hi, my name is Nathan Marsee! I'm a developer and game designer from Renton, Washington, and as you'd probably expect, my passions revolve primarily around video games.
While I do enjoy playing games, I actually spend much more of my time analyzing the design of games, modifying my favorites, and creating games of my own. I've developed a handful of complete video games, most as personal projects, but I've also developed a full VR game for UW Medicine. I'm also made a card game called Orbellion, which I'm planning on expanding and adapting to an RPG video game in the near future.
I'm currently pursuing a degree in Computer Science at Eastern Washington University
My Interests
Though video games were what motivated me to pursue computer science in the first place, my interests do extend past them. The process of planning out a piece of software and solving the puzzle of implementing those plans is something I find incredibly engaging and fulfilling, no matter the purpose of the software. I also enjoy the more artistic parts of software creation like visual design and even music when applicable, though I'll admit neither of them are my strong suit.
Beyond software, I'm also passionate about storytelling. Experiencing the fictional worlds of others, or creating my own, I find the process of creating fiction super interesting. Creating and refining the worldbuilding of my own Orbellion project has been some of the most instructive and rewarding work I've done for a personal project.
And of course, there are still a number of games I love playing and thinking about. For anyone curious, some of my favorite video games are Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Minecraft, Metroid Prime, and Undertale. I also enjoy a number of physical games like Dungeons & Dragons, Settlers of Catan, and especially Magic: the Gathering, which I've been playing for nearly 13 years.
