As an award-winning author, filmmaker, game writer and designer, Andrew Todhunter brings a rare combination of skills and passion to his work in the game industry.

As a writer, Todhunter develops rich story lines, complex characters and sharp dialogue; as a design consultant, he develops content and makes detailed suggestions on ways to improve every facet of a game’s appearance, interface and playability.

As of early 2006, he is at work on several other gaming projects, including an original MMOG concept, and fiction based on Eve Online, CCP's award-winning MMOG.

In print media, Todhunter is the author of three books and scores of articles, including a series of pieces for The Atlantic Monthly. His last book, "A Meal Observed," won the 2005 Pen USA Award for Creative Nonfiction.
