Biography:

Jeremy Reid was born in 1989 in Olney, Maryland. After receiving his very first gaming console at a young age, he slowly developed a love for the medium. Growing up on the old classics of the Nintendo 64 era; he desired to understand the hidden gears and clockwork that converge together to make all of his favorite games fun. After discovering PC gaming, Jeremy developed an enjoyment in big open world games and narrative. This furthered his desire to really understand what goes on behind the scenes in game development. After graduating from High School in 2008, he decided to make this desire a reality; he chose the medium as his field of study for higher education. 

After obtaining his Associate’s Degree in Computer Gaming and Simulation in 2011 from Montgomery College, Jeremy took a short break from the world of game development to focus on his job as a package handler at the United Parcel Service. During this time he continued to play games and slowly developed an increased interest in emergent gameplay and narrative. He thought about what video games can offer consumers that no other entertainment medium can; how games can express narrative in a form that would be impossible to reproduce in film and literature. In this way video games would achieve their own voice and would emerge from under the shadow of other mediums.

Jeremy Reid is currently working on his Bachelor’s Degree in the Simulation and Digital Entertainment Program at the University of Baltimore. He has written several articles on gaming related topics during his tenure as a student in the program and has completed a number of gaming related projects as well. As he continues to study and develop in his field, he will burrow himself deep within the earth of game development and record his findings.
