Hire a writer who can walk in your shoes.
In video games you need a writer who can walk in the shoes of designers, publishers… and licensors. Your game has a tight dev cycle, and you need concise ingame dialog & a cinematics script that won’t cost an arm and a leg to produce.
With over nine years of experience in the video game industry, I understand the need to keep production costs low, and deliver creative assets quickly with zero hand-holding.
A background in screenwriting, prose, and comic books provides with me with an inherent understanding in genres that heavily influence game storytelling.
My work for D3, Vivendi Games, Sierra, Electronic Arts and Fox Interactive speaks for itself – especially when it comes to screen-to-game adaptations, where you have the additional hurdle of licensor approval.
Coraline, Fight Club and Die Hard:Nakatomi Plaza, Planet of the Apes, and World’s Scariest Police Chases are just a handful of games where I wrote to the voice of the license, and my work on those titles contributed to a quick turnaround with licensors, and the authenticity fans expect.
