Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBrook Jensen is a Senior Narrative Designer with a decade of experience blending technical rigor and evocative storytelling to craft branching dialogue systems and emotionally resonant game moments. With a Computer Science degree from Waterloo and a Writer’s Studio certificate from SFU, Brook moves fluently between code and prose, having shipped narrative work at studios including The Coalition, Humanoid Studios, and Next Level Games. They led and wrote the award-acclaimed indie It’s You: A Breakup Story, designing a topic-based dialogue system that enabled natural conversation flow and player-driven escalation. Now at Arcanaut Studios, Brook focuses on grand, cosmic themes while engineering distinctive dialogue architectures that preserve player agency. Unusual for a narrative designer, Brook’s background in programming means they routinely prototype systems themselves, shortening the loop between narrative vision and playable implementation.
