FEATURED PROJECTS (AS WRITER)
TBA (Coming In 2024)
???
Genre/platform: PC.
Associate writer, editor, and lorebuilder on an upcoming project.
PROTODROID DeLTA (May 2023)
Humble Games | steam listing | official trailer
Genre/platform: Solarpunk 3D action-platformer for PC/Switch/Playstation 4/Xbox.
A Solarpunk game inspired by the Megaman series, set in a world with a hopeful yet nonutopian vision of the future. I worked as a freelance editor and scriptwriter for the project (in-game dialogue and cutscenes), as well as writer for additional game content.
Here I honed my skills as I was given the opportunity to edit scripts and rewrite lines while using a lore and character guide to expand upon the creator’s characters. I had to ensure lines fit the story, keeping track of canon lore and individual personalities to ensure character voices remained distinct, as well as provide some minor direction for voice actors.
MASKERADE ACT I (PROTOTYPE)
Dream Team | itch.io
Genre/platform: 3D mystery point-and-click adventure for PC.
Welcome to the Masque Royale, a repurposed apartment-hotel under an investigation where nothing is as it seems… A prototype of a hybrid adventure game designed for the WomenMake Just F*ing Ship It 2022 challenge (March 2022). I lead my team as narrative designer, as well as scriptwriter.
Born from a prototype in my little game ideas notebook. I drew inspiration from my love for detective, old-timey settings. This is a first stage build of the concept. In Maskerade an outsider arrives to investigate a puzzling incident in an isolated community where everybody wears a mask. Features include interviewing residents, finding clues, and trading items in a hybrid adventure/point and click setting. My dream is to emulate the feel of old 90s PC titles by creating a stylish and quirky little adventure, set in several acts.
THE SWIRL
Dream Team | itch.io | script | gameplay sample
Genre/platform: interactive mystery visual novel for PC.
"As for the sun... no idea where its gone, just a buncha swirls in the sky now. Been hearing rumours about a place outta town, something about it being the catalyst of this supposed monochrome phenomenon. No idea where they got their info, pretty sure that's impossible."
Take one hardboiled detective, an abandoned theatre, a ghostly otherworld, and what do you get? A caper worth seeing to believe. Created for the Ludem Dare 49 72hr game jam (Oct 2021). The Swirl was my first true venture as a team lead, on top of creating the narrative design, story & script. It was my biggest project yet!
My work on this title was an ambitious 4,000 word script with 5 unique endings, written in 48 hours for a 72 hour game jam. I helped direct the artstyle and layout for the game, manifesting my favourite genres (noir, mystery, supernatural) to make a unique tale. It resulted in a game about a haunted, abandoned theatre and a mysterious, colourful otherworld hidden within. This was a great opportunity to learn, as challenging as it was within the small timeframe. The highlight was watching twitch streamers play through, create character voices and theorise twists around the corner - that was certainly a treat! This project is the one I am most proud of, and it is close to my heart.
Ranked 223rd/3000+ titles entered that year.
