The games above are likely only a sampling of the projects Sweet Baby has been involved in.
In the words of COO David Bedard, a Narrative Designer’s job is to “figure out HOW the story is told in a game“. This likely means not just the actual words, but telling a game’s story through environment and gameplay mechanics themselves.
Sweet Baby has worked with dozens of companies including:
Xbox Game Studios
Electronic Arts
Valve
Santa Monica Studios
Tru Luv
2K
Polytron
Wizards of the Coast
Square Enix
Ubisoft
Raw Fury
Compulsion Games
and more
Most recently, Sweet Baby has been involved in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 for “story consultation” and Alan Wake 2 for “character arc, voice, and sensitivity reading“.
