Hi. I'm Aidan Klein

I'm a game developer, writer, and occasional cartoonist.

My work includes narrative design for a stop-motion needle felted puzzle platformer, co-founding Duke's first game development club, and writing, staging, and performing a musical about a lovesick poet and his glam rock alter ego.

About

What I've worked on.

I was Narrative Design Intern at Wooly Games on Feltopia, co-founded Duke's first game development club, and led design and art on two GMTK Game Jam entries that each placed in the top 0.5% of 7,000+ submissions.

I also wrote, directed, and performed my capstone show Symon Marsh is the Center of the Universe, spent three years writing a weekly newsletter for 3,300+ readers at Duke's Innovation Co-Lab, and play saxophone in a neo-soul band with seven released songs.
