  • Jennifer

    Associate Producer

    What is your all-time favorite game?
    Earthbound on the Super Nintendo. It was one of the first RPGs I played as a kid, and it really struck a chord with me. I replay it every couple of years.

    What do you consider your greatest achievement?
    Growing to understand that you have to chase your own happiness. It’s very important to find ways to be satisfied in work and play, and sometimes that requires taking a scary jump into the unknown.
    I’ve managed to achieve a good understanding of this, but it will always be a work in progress.

    What is the best thing about working at BioWare?
    Being a part of the talented and passionate team that makes up our BioWare family! It’s an honor to be able to contribute to the amazing games we make. Also, the coffee is pretty awesome.

    If you were not in the games industry, what would you do?
    I would likely be doing something related to nutrition and well-being. I’m a believer in the healing powers of a really good sandwich. I also like making music, but I probably shouldn’t quit my day job.

    My Edmonton

    Favorite Bar

    I don’t get out to bars often, but I worked at the Starlite Room when I was younger and really enjoyed it. Live music and cold beer is a good mix. There are also a few arcade-style pubs around town that are fun to visit.

    Love About the City

    All of the awesome festivals that happen here year-round—especially the ones dealing with food and music.

    Best Winter Tip

    Wear lots of layers and get a 4x4 vehicle—it’s icy here!

  • Darrin

    Senior Software Engineer

    What is your all-time favorite game?
    Tomb Raider (2013)

    What do you consider your greatest achievement?
    Finding a career that I enjoy and that challenges me daily. Doing something you enjoy is the key to success.

    What is the best thing about working at BioWare?
    The people. Even though we all have individual roles to play, we do it as a team. Everyone's feedback is valued, and every person at BioWare has an open-door policy.

    If you were not in the games industry, what would you do?
    Computer Graphics R&D group—either at a university, hardware manufacturer, or film company. Learning new algorithms and technology is what keeps me going.

    What is a goal you set for yourself in three years?
    Professionally, as long as we're still making great games that our customers love, then I'm happy. For my own small part, I'd like to continue growing BioWare's rendering expertise and help us become industry leaders for cinematic storytelling.
    And personally, I want to learn Spanish, reaching the B2 level of proficiency using the CEFR standard. Then I will reward myself with a trip to South America.

    My Austin

    Favorite Bar

    Fadó Irish Pub

    Love About the City

    We really do have the best tacos around.

    Best Summer Tip

    Barton Springs Pool is the go-to answer for most people, but for something a little different, try exploring one of the nearby caves. Being underground means the temperatures stay nice and cool year-round, and you might even learn something along the way.

  • Rick

    Lead Technical Designer

    Who is your favorite fictional character and why?
    Fiddler from Tales of the Malazan Fallen by Steven Erikson. It’s my favorite universe, and this character is stuck in a war doing his job. He’s going through extreme situations while still maintaining his character all the way through. If you have not read this series, do it now and settle in for a long journey.

    What question do you commonly get asked about your job at BioWare?
    Is it hard? Like any job, you get what you put in. I’ve given almost 20 years to making games and at this point I can simply say I love creating worlds and experiences for others to enjoy.
    The work itself is grueling at times and self-indulgent at others. I get to work on the games I would otherwise be playing on my own, and this helps me get through those moments of 16-hour days, crusty stress levels, and order-in food.
    We do this because we want to make the best product, and you need to find a base to stand on to stay sane.

    If you were not in the games industry, what would you do?
    Either a teacher or a chef. I’ve had the privilege of teaching classes for 15 years across several disciplines. Talking through problems and helping people see things they didn’t know before is one of the most rewarding feelings I have experienced.
    I also routinely try to bring a little flare in the kitchen at home to my family. I enjoy the challenge of taking different ingredients and blending them together into something new.

    What is a goal you set for yourself in three years?
    At this point in my career it isn’t enough to just make the next game—I’m looking for new and better ways for developers to deliver more content to players faster. My hope is that in three years I have made my impact internally at BioWare and hopefully beyond for better tools and systems.

    My Edmonton

    Favorite Place

    Jasper. Ok it isn’t Edmonton, but being this close to the mountains means I get out there as often as possible to take in the air, the scenery, and the relaxing downtime.

    Best Culture Spot

    The Edmonton Heritage festival. Every August long weekend, 60-80 different cultures gather to hold a celebration of cultural diversity through crafts, traditions, and ultimately, food! My family has gone pretty much every year, and it’s a great chance to learn about everything this city should offer for different backgrounds and cultures.

    Best Winter Tip

    Artificial sun lamps. The winter days are short (offset by terrific long summer days) and we found it useful to get lights in our house that simulate a sunrise early in the morning.

  • Karin

    Lead Editor

    What is your all-time favorite game?
    That’s like making me pick my favorite child! I have fave games for different reasons: Neverwinter Nights as my “dating my now-husband” memory; Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare being the first game I got to REALLY play multiplayer with my kids; Overwatch as a current source of social fun with my friends...
    I’m backing out of committing to one single game, though.

    What is the best thing about working at BioWare?
    The people, on both sides of the game. I’m so honored to work with the creative, good-hearted people I do, and interact with the creative, good-hearted people who play what we make. I’ve learned so much from all of them. Still am.

    What is your most treasured possession?
    My singing voice makes me who I am, and I’ve trained and taken voice classes throughout my life, which makes it feel more like a possession. Any chance to make music with or for someone is a gift (corny, but true!) and I’d be lost if I couldn’t do it.

    If you were not in the games industry, what would you do?
    Another type of editing, or music education in some form.

    My Edmonton

    Favorite Cafe/Bakery

    I love the Bogani Café, local to my neighborhood. Fantastic chai, delicious soups and pastries, and a huge cozy seating area for reading or catching up with friends.

    Favorite Restaurant

    Loma House, an AMAZING family-owned Asian vegetarian restaurant in south Edmonton.

    Best Winter Tip

    If you must park your car outside after it’s been in a garage, slightly cracking the windows will equalize the temperature and keep the inside of your windows from icing over. (And if you forget, a credit card makes a great emergency ice scraper.)

  • Keith

    Lead World Designer

    All time favorite game:
    Uncharted 4. It’s an epic tour-de-force of action and storytelling, and a fitting end for Nathan Drake.

    Best thing about Bioware:
    Working with talented designers and artists from all over the world. I'm amazed by the passion of the people here, and even after 15 years I still feel like I’m constantly learning from them.

    Perfect day in my life:
    After sleeping in (which is a near impossibility with two toddlers at home), heading out for brunch at Little Brick and a walk in the river valley. Then home for a nap, followed by an afternoon of playing board games (Season 2 of Pandemic Legacy, anyone?), and then out for a gig at night after the kids are down.

    Greatest achievement:
    Helping to ship some of the best games in the industry, while having such an amazing family to go home to after work.

    Most Treasured Possession:
    Possibly my ticket stub collection from all the events I've been to going back to the late 80s. I've got a nice display that a friend put together that is fun to look at and brings back some great memories—and there's always room to add more.

    My Edmonton

    Love About the City

    I love that we have access to so much culture, arts, music, and events here and yet still feel like a small town. I feel like I'm never more than two degrees of separation from anyone in town, from the mayor to the local Taiko drumming troop. This makes it so easy to get involved in pretty much anything that interests you.

    Favorite Restaurant

    There are so many to choose from, but I'll go with Corso 32. It’s an amazing place for Italian food in downtown Edmonton.

    Best Culture Spot

    The Mercury Room—a hole in the wall joint with great live music.

  • Alexandra

    Software Engineer

    Favorite fictional character:
    The new Ms. Marvel, Kamala Khan. I like her because she’s a superhero, but as a teenage girl she still has a lot of relatable struggles with her identity, values, who she loves, and who she trusts. I think she’s a great role model for anyone—especially young people.

    Question about your job at BioWare:
    “Can you tell me all about the newest unreleased game?” The answer is always, “No.”

    How did I come to join BioWare:
    I went to the U of A and was very into computer science and video games, so I was always checking for job postings at BioWare. I applied after I graduated and here I am!

    What I would do if I wasn’t in the games industry:
    I sing in a lot of choirs in my spare time and thought about pursuing voice in college. Maybe I’d go back and become an opera singer.

    My Edmonton

    Favorite Place

    Churchill square. I love it in the summer when there are tons of festivals and performances going on. There’s always something new to see.

    Best Culture Spot

    I really enjoy the Heritage Festival during the August long weekend. I always get great food, and it’s awesome to see how diverse Edmonton is as a city.

  • Preston

    Senior Creative Director

    What is your all-time favorite game?
    It is a tie actually. Diablo III and Skyrim are both games I admire as a player and a designer. They are incredibly fun but also offer many lessons for what best in class looks like.

    What is the best thing about working at BioWare?
    I have loved RPGs my entire life. Being able to come in week after week and work on this type of game is exciting. As a Creative Director I am doing the work I have always dreamed of doing and getting paid for it.

    What do you consider your greatest achievement?
    Professionally, I would say standing up our new IP. I learned a lot helping to build the Mass Effect franchise and I hope I am bringing all of that learning forward to build something fun and interesting.

    What is your most treasured possession?
    When I held my last stand-up for the Mass Effect franchise as its Lead Designer my staff gave me a signed card. I would save that in a fire before any award or plaque.

    My Edmonton

    Best Culture Spot

    Overall I really love the restaurant scene in Edmonton. For a mid-size city, it has a lot of great places to eat. Last year 9 of the top 100 restaurants in Canada were in Edmonton.

    Favorite Restaurant

    Workshop Eatery

    Love About the City

    I love Edmonton’s river valley. It’s the largest urban park in Canada with more than 160 km of trails.

  • Allan

    Associate Software Developer in Test

    What is your all-time favorite game?
    Planescape: Torment.

    What is the best thing about working at BioWare?
    I love the wide range of challenges that come up during a project. I get the chance to work on a lot of different things, which keeps my work fresh and exciting.

    If you could design the perfect day, what would it look like?
    It would be tough to fit everything into one day, but it would involve travelling through Europe or Japan with my fiancée and taking in the cultural and historical hotspots of the areas.

    What do you consider your greatest achievement?
    Shipping Dragon Age: Inquisition. This project was so immense in scope and really solidified the respect I had for my colleagues. It’s the only game I’ve worked on that I still played after release because I just loved what we were trying to accomplish.

    My Edmonton

    Love About the City

    Our river valley is amazingly beautiful. I love going for bike rides or runs during the summer on the trails. It winds through most of the city, so I can mix things up by checking out different areas all the time.

    Best Culture Spot

    Whyte Avenue during an event, such as Pride Parade or the Fringe Festival. There’s lots of stuff to see and do that I’m only just now becoming aware of.

  • Graham

    Senior Level Designer

    Who is your favorite fictional character and why?
    John Furie Zacharias (aka Gentle) from Imajica by Clive Barker. It was one of the first worlds I fell in love with, and John’s transformation as he explored seemingly foreign realms while coming to terms with his past and his role in the world was amazing. Now I need to read it again, thanks.

    How did you come to join BioWare?
    I had been at a smaller company in Calgary working on various projects for the GameBoy Advance and Nintendo DS. Working with smaller teams gave me the opportunity to touch nearly every aspect of development and allowed for tons of self-learning.
    BioWare was building a team to work on Sonic Chronicles, and I took a chance and applied, hoping my experiences in handheld games would pay off. Great Success!

    If you were not in the games industry, what would you do?
    I have literally no idea. Throughout high school I had no clue what I wanted to do, but I ate, slept, and breathed video games. It wasn’t until I was out of school and still working in fast food restaurants that I started looking for paths into the industry. I took a chance on a multimedia course, worked my butt off to get an interview, and haven’t let off the gas since.

    What is a goal you set for yourself in three years?
    I’d like to start mentoring a bit more in the future. Lessons I learned early in my career due to hardware restrictions and smaller team sizes have afforded me unique perspectives I can share.
    I’ve also learned a great deal from my own mentors over the years, and I’d love to pay it forward.

    My Edmonton

    Favorite Place

    Not in Edmonton, but nearby. My family has a gorgeous retreat where our trailer is located on Lac Ste. Anne. We pretty much live out there on weekends during the summer. There’s fishing, quad trails, boating, and last summer we even found our own little private beach if you follow the river… I’ve said too much.

    Best Culture Spot

    Fort Edmonton Park.

    Best Winter Tip

    Layers—it’s all about layers. That and remote car starters.

  • Rachel

    Software Engineer

    What is your all-time favorite game?
    It’s a tie between Super Metroid and Final Fantasy 6.
    Super Metroid is the most well-constructed game I’ve ever seen. It’s fun from start to finish, the controls feel natural, and there’s a huge world to explore with callbacks to the original while still making everything bigger and new.
    Final Fantasy 6 has such a beautiful story, music, cast, and world. There are so many side stories to discover for each character, so much background to discover, and I still have feelings about it.

    What do you consider your greatest achievement?
    Passing my level 1 belt test in Krav Maga. The test took 10 hours and was the most physically demanding thing I’ve ever done.

    What is the best thing about working at BioWare?
    The people are amazing. This is such a wonderful collection of amazing professionals who are motivated and passionate about building the best games they can together.

    If you were not in the games industry, what would you do?
    I’d probably be programming at a far more boring job.

    My Edmonton

    Love About the City

    The summers are absolutely amazing. Everyone up here has been really friendly and there's always another festival coming up. I think I'll be tracking down new things to do and explore for a while.

    Favorite Restaurant

    Chinese Hot Pot Buffet

    Best Winter Tip

    Heated underground parking is the best. Also, find a winter sport you like so you'll have something to look forward to.

  • Angela

    QA Manager

    What is your all-time favorite game?
    That’s a hard question. Wizardry 5 was the first non-edutainment game I played, and it got me hooked on RPGs. Doom changed my young life with deathmatch, and the mod tools helped me realize people like me could make games.
    But I’d have to go with Baldur’s Gate 2 for merging my love of RPG mechanics with deep stories and fascinating characters. There are few things I love more than losing myself in a great story.

    What do you consider your greatest achievement?
    The birth of my daughter. My tiny, sarcastic genius delights and cracks me up.

    What is the best thing about working at BioWare?
    The level of honesty and transparency across the team. I’ve never had the gift of such clear and open communication in the industry before. Feedback is both respectfully given and received in a healthy way. You can see the impact of this honesty in the work that we do.

    If you were not in the games industry, what would you do?
    I’d probably be running a secondhand bookstore alongside my cat, recommending stories people can lose themselves in.

    My Austin

    Favorite Bar

    Chocolate!

    Favorite Place

    Lucy’s Fried Chicken, for a basket of fried goodness and a great atmosphere.

    Best City Tip

    There’s no reason to eat at a chain restaurant when there’s so much local goodness to explore.

  • Janice

    Director of Product Development

    What is your all-time favorite game?
    I still think back to one of the first games to really sink its hooks into me back in 1995: Crusader: No Remorse. It was a mission-based game that combined stealth with creative weaponry and an easy-to-use interface, and the result was pure, addictive fun.
    Perhaps it’s just because it was one of the first games I really got into, but it’s the yardstick by which all other games have been measured.

    What is the best thing about working at BioWare?
    I love the people I get to work with here at BioWare. We have an eclectic mix of people from around the globe, all coming together to do something they are passionate about. It makes such a huge difference in your day-to-day work when the people you spend most your time with are engaged and excited about what they are doing.

    What is your most treasured possession?
    Back in the 1940s, my grandmother ordered some lily bulbs from a mail order greenhouse in Ontario. At the time, she had an amazing garden down in a historic part of the city, covering most of three large city lots. She ended up giving some of those lily bulbs to my mom for her garden, and my mom has now shared them with me and my sister.
    Mine grow in my front yard and bloom for a week or two in late spring. The little yellow flowers are far too modest to compete with the lilies being sold today, but I love sitting out there on a warm, sunny day, looking at these simple but strong little flowers that have weathered the last seven decades across three generations of family.
    I’m sure there’s a life lesson in there somewhere.

    My Edmonton

    Favorite Restaurant

    One of my favorite restaurants in the city is the High Level Diner near the University, particularly on Thursday nights when their special is a Ukrainian feast. You get some of the best borscht around, along with local ham sausage, and homemade perogies and cabbage rolls. Add in their stellar homemade iced tea and some bread pudding with bourbon caramel sauce and you’ll be full for days. This area was initially settled by a lot of Ukrainian immigrants, so I feel like this meal is a bit of a nod to local history, in addition to being tasty.

    Best City Tip

    Every few years, my husband and I take a stay-cation and try to do things in our own city that we’ve never done before. One year our goal was to visit all of the larger city parks, and in a two-week span we barely scratched the surface. There are so many parks and trails, and so many activities throughout town, that you can easily stay busy for weeks with a minimum of planning. Play Frisbee Golf in Goldbar Park, ride a paddle boat in Hawrelak Park, learn how to ride a Segway through a handful of river valley parks, take the dog to one of the many off-leash parks, or if you’re particularly adventurous, you can paddle a canoe from the neighboring town of Devon to Emily Murphy Park. We usually have great weather in the summer, so vacationing at home saves some money and you can still sleep in your own bed at night.
