Bio
Chris Schlerf
During our time working together on Halo 4, Nate displayed an impressive mastery of storytelling, both in his direction of in-engine designer cutscenes as well as through the creation of unique narrative gameplay and vignettes. A valuable and insightful collaborator, Nate brings immense passion and experience to the creative process; as we sought new and innovative ways to get our story across, he was always a reliable source of both inspiration and positive, constructive criticism. Nate's knowledge of past and present game narrative was a well from which we drew upon often, and the benefits it brought to Halo's development are quite prominent in the final game.
Chris Haluke
Nathan is an extremely hard working and passionate designer who truly made a difference in the production of Halo 4. In my time working with Nathan, I found him to be an incredible asset to the Design Team through the way he managed to balance his narrative responsibilities along with a general design role. Nathan quickly grasped the tools and technology which allowed himself to be particularly successful in term of content creation and debugging. Nathan played a huge role on the Spartan Ops development and blazed a trail in terms of injecting narrative into the game. It’s been a pleasure working with Nathan and I look forward to future opportunities to work at his side.
