Gigantic Narrative

 

I was contracted by Motiga to draft hero VO and other miscellaneous writing tasks. The vast majority of that work is available at the link below, shared with permission from Motiga.
Dappervolk
I worked with Snail Games to create compelling characters and text-based quests for the browser-based pet site, Dappervolk. I also pitched and brainstormed lore, including general world-building and plot.
​
Examples coming Soon (TM)!
Twine Projects
Twine is one of my favorite tools for prototyping branching, prose-driven experiences. Below are a few projects I've created in the editor.
  • MEMORY.EXE (2017) - Written for the Telltale Creative Workshop.
  • ​The Tower (2019) - Part of the backstory for a TTRPG character, delivered as a short interactive experience.
Miscellaneous Samples
Various personal works I've written over the years, for fun or for practice. Many of them are snippets of short stories, inspired by in-character experiences playing TTRPGs.

  • Jack and Lilith (2014) | Script format | 388 words
    An exercise writing in-character, using Handsome Jack and Lilith from Borderlands 2.
     

  • Scouting Party (2014) | Script format | 492 words
    A short scene from a steampunk/high fantasy setting.
     

  • Special (2016) | Short story | 1,765 words
    A lone scavenger encounters another survivor in the early days following a catastrophic event.
    Written in my post-apocalyptic magical realism setting, working title 'witch tree'.
     

  • Saturate (2016) | Short story | 7,541 words
    A prescient man of a family of misfits tries to use his power to bring about a better future.
    Written in a setting created for a school project, wherein the world is slowly being drained of color. The main story was intended as a superhero-esque graphic novel; this is a prequel spinoff. It was tentatively accepted for publication in an anthology by Visual Adjectives, but the project ended up falling through.

    Sometimes you know something is a terrible idea, but you still can't stop yourself.

  • a list of things that burn. (2019) | Unfinished short story | 919 words
    An unfinished piece of backstory for a previous TTRPG character, Cassian (also featured in 'The Tower' in the Twine section above). Cassian was part of a group playing through WotC's 'Dragon Heist' adventure.

As the Narrative Lead for Wardmore Studios, a student team at DigiPen, I was the most prominent driving force behind the game's lore. The following document features a sampling of the work I completed for the project, which includes champion lore and worldbuilding.
