My name is Ben Wander. I’ve worked professionally in games since 2009, at studios like BioWare and Visceral Games. In 2015, I left AAA to found The Wandering Ben. I create narrative adventures in settings less-explored by large studios, focusing on individuals rather than world-saving.

I also love traveling the world. Last year, I combined those two passions: wandering the globe while creating my own twist on interactive entertainment. And I blogged about it every week!

For the moment, I’m not wandering as much, instead focused on finishing the current game. But travel is palette-cleansing, inspirational, and a lot of fun, so expect more adventures to come!

Follow my development log, and I’ll keep you updated on exciting news.
