Hello, my name is Marcus Staples and I'm an aspiring video game designer who specializes in story content and mechanics systems. Contained in this portfolio you will find my resume, as well as many examples of game mechanics systems that I have designed and several short stories I have written. Also, the last section contains a short description of projects I have worked on, and my role inside those projects.

I am a recent graduate from the University of Advancing Technology in Tempe, AZ. I come from a city in the northeast corner of Illinois. Though my immediate family is small, my extended family is quite large. Things I enjoy doing include movies, playing and listening to music, games, reading, writing, and going out.
