Bio
Chris Avellone
I worked with John on the Fallout New Vegas DLCs, he was one of the designers brought on board to assist with area creation, level design, propping, and assisting with the navigation and pathing for the DLCs. Not only that, he also assisted in art duties as well, and is responsible for the arrays of end slides, world map images, and other artistic touches present in the DLC as well - as the result of his efforts, we delivered a much sharper design more quickly, and his efforts helped the DLC shine. The Fallout NV DLCs would have been much more difficult to finish without his presence, and not only would I strongly recommend John for any game development studio, but if the opportunity presented itself, I would actively seek to work with him again. He is easy to work with, works hard, and is an asset to any development team.

John joined the Fallout team to help with the development of the DLC's (downloadable content). During his time with us, John went above and beyond his duties to help out on a few art tasks. Even though he had a full plate he was always looking for ways to help out the art department. John always took the right aproach and was very proactive in getting feedback not only from myself but from other artist. He was always very positive and could quickly adress any feedback, making it a pleasure to work with him. John is a earger and proffesional individual who's commited to developing as an artist and I recommend him to anyone who needs a dedicated artist with a great work ethic and attitude.
