The games above are likely only a sampling of the projects Sweet Baby has been involved in.

In the words of COO David Bedard, a Narrative Designer’s job is to “figure out HOW the story is told in a game“. This likely means not just the actual words, but telling a game’s story through environment and gameplay mechanics themselves.

Sweet Baby has worked with dozens of companies including:

  • Xbox Game Studios
  • Electronic Arts
  • Valve
  • Santa Monica Studios
  • Tru Luv
  • 2K
  • Polytron
  • Wizards of the Coast
  • Square Enix
  • Ubisoft
  • Raw Fury
  • Compulsion Games
  • and more

Most recently, Sweet Baby has been involved in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 for “story consultation” and Alan Wake 2 for “character arc, voice, and sensitivity reading“.
