Timothy Aste’s Summary

I am currently employed at PushButton Labs, where we hope to create some cool stuff such as the next evolution of Flash Games, Downloadable and Web Entertainment, and Community Software.

I have been a professional graphic designer for nine years, and have spent the last five years alternating in the roles of game artist and producer. My most recent project was overseeing the creation of Fallen Empire: Legions, from concept through open beta for InstantAction.com

Previous work includes titles on the Xbox 360 & PC that span from AAA to Casual. I have been responsible for art production(2D/3D), 3rd party developer relations, project management, business development, and web development.

I've contributed to ~91 products: 22 Games, 5 engines, 3 books, 13 tools, 48 content packs. I've worked on innumerable websites.

Some roles were bigger, some roles were smaller: game art, contracts, QA, EULAs, logos, marketing, publishing contracts, producing, directing, web development, graphic design, and more.

I have a high interest in the future of web technology and portables, indie games, and web games. I live in a Yurt.
