About Me

Hello, hello! I’m Calvin Johns, an all-purpose video game designer. I was born and raised in the good old state of South Dakota where I spent my time maintaining the country house as well as enjoy playing video games, swimming in the pool, and reading. I studied at Champlain College for four years for my bachelor’s in game design and graduated in spring 2019. Since then, I have worked as a QA tester for Activision all the way through to the beginning of 2021.

During my studies, I have worked alongside peers on game projects that have ranged from simple platformers with a four-person team for three weeks to entire semester-long projects on a team sizes of twelve members. The skills that I have acquired through my studies, projects, and peers have helped me grow as a game designer. My skills include 3D/2D level design, narrative design, user experience design, testing gameplay through physical and digital rapid prototyping, running quality assurance tests and interpreting acquired data, and maintaining quality documentation throughout a project.

While working for Activision, I worked on three AAA games where I learned how to work along with hundreds of other testers/developers. I have been with each game for at least 10 months each working on Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019), Call of Duty: Warzone, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War through pre-and post-release sessions of content. I learned how to use Jira, organize and communicate with dozens to hundreds of peers effectively, and touched up on my Microsoft Word/Excel program skills.
