I specialize in building compelling game narratives from high-level story concepts through production-ready scripts and in-game implementation.

What I can help you build * Game story & narrative design — premises, story architecture, story arcs, narrative frameworks and full game narratives * Game writing & dialogue — character dialogue, conversations, branching dialogue, interactive scripts and cinematic writing * Character development — character concepts, character arcs, relationships, motivations, character bibles and narrative progression * Worldbuilding & lore — settings, factions, histories, mythology, cultures, mysteries and narrative backstory * Interactive storytelling — branching narratives, player choices, consequences, relationship systems and emergent story * Quest & mission writing — quest concepts, objectives, narrative beats, dialogue and player-facing storytelling * Cutscenes & cinematics — scripts, scene structure, storyboards and cinematic narrative * Narrative systems — designing stories that work with gameplay mechanics, progression systems and repeatable content * AI / conversational games — character-driven conversation systems, NPC storytelling, freeform dialogue and narrative frameworks for AI-driven experiences I can also support projects beyond writing, helping teams translate narrative into production: working with designers, developers and artists, structuring narrative documentation, managing story scope, and creating practical workflows that keep the narrative achievable within the project’s resources. I’m particularly interested in projects where story and gameplay need to work together.
