About Me
My name is Drake Gibbs. I make worlds.
Born and based in San Diego, forging worlds and conceptualizing games was my second language growing up. After a childhood of doodling on homework and scrawling rules in notebook margins, I decided it was time to get serious about my love for games. In 2018, I was welcomed into the Honors College at the University of Utah, joining the seasoned Entertainment Arts and Engineering program in pursuit of my passion.
In 2023, I graduated with an Honors Bachelor’s in Games and a Minor in Creative Writing. I currently work as a co-founder of a small indie company titled Winged Remnant LLC. This studio is home to several talented and passionate developers I worked with and befriended during my gaming academics. We are currently developing an unreleased project titled Survive-Ville, where I lead combat design.
The junction where the disciplines of art, design, and creativity collide is where I thrive, but it is the moment when the joy of play elicits discovery, curiosity, and creativity that drives my dreams to create.

Writing Samples
The backbone of immersive gameplay is the compelling narrative behind it! Blending mechanics with story is a terrific talent, but ensuring you have the locations, characters, and themes for your audience is paramount! Here are some various samples of writing I have produced, both professionally and personally that showcase how I wield literature!
