TAYLOR POPE

System Design / Gameplay Programming

I'm a creator who loves to wrestle with large problems. The bigger the challenge the more fun it can be to break it into pieces. From gameplay balance to economic simulations I have a passion for numbers and iteration. 

Whenever I can I work in groups because my best designs and ideas come from collaboration. I love the people and the projects I've worked on.

Here's some of my recent work.
