About

I’m Alexander King. I am a:

Game Designer

  • I love simulation games and games about people.
  • I love games about history, games in history, and the history of games.
  • I love overlooked genres, like incremental games, paperdolls, virtual pets, hidden object games.
  • I have a Master of Fine Arts in Game Design from the NYU Game Center. I love that place too.
  • I teach classes in game design, game development, and games history at NYU Tisch, Parsons School of Design, and other universities in New York.

Analyst
Before making games, I worked in finance and ecommerce as a strategy consultant and marketing analyst. Now, I apply those skills to games. I think a lot about:

  • Marketing efficiently on smaller budgets
  • Sustainable success in the games industry
  • Ways data and analysis can inform game design

Consultant
I love working with different people and solving new problems. I can help you with any of the following:

  • Game Design of complex systems
  • Quantitative Playtesting & player analytics
  • Marketing strategy
  • Digital campaign management
  • Basically anything in Excel
