David Pittman's Blog   Expert Blogs

Hi, I'm David Pittman. I do a lot of things, but mostly, I make games.

I previously worked with the fine people at 2K Marin, programming AI for games like BioShock 2 and The Bureau: XCOM Declassified.

Before that, I worked briefly at Stormfront Studios and Gearbox Software, contributing in small ways to The Spiderwick Chronicles and Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway respectively.

I attended The Guildhall at SMU and wrote my Master's thesis on Goal-Oriented Action Planning.

You can follow me on Twitter.
