Sea of Thieves
Sea of Thieves is a BAFTA-winning AAA live-service action adventure developed by Rare, an XBOX studio. At Rare, I worked as Game Store Author, managing and updating the Pirate Emporium and Outpost stores, and bringing new content to over 40 million players.
Project Smore
Project Smore is the code name for a roguelike developed by Story Games, a studio of 15-25 primarily exRiot staff. As Staff Writer, I developed the IP, crafting worldbuilding, characters, and narrative systems/mechanics, as well as writing stories, quests, and transmedia scripts.
Minecraft Frontiers
Minecraft Frontiers was a live-service modded minecraft server with 1600+ players and a team of 10-15 staff. As Director of Lore, I directed a small team of writers to design items, characters, factions, quests, and extensive worldbuilding contained within a lore bible. I also designed, scripted, and implemented NPC dialogue and events in JavaScript.
Transmedia
The Forgotten King
The Forgotten King is an epic fantasy story presented here as an 11-part audio drama series. This story is just a small part of Elderon, the massive IP crafted by Story Games which I contributed to as a writer, narrative designer, and editor. Each episode is around 22 minutes.
