Game Writing

Times & Galaxy (2024)
Developer: Copychaser Games
Publisher: Fellow Traveller

A sci-fi comedy game about journalism in space.

I created characters, missions, and lore in this original sci-fi universe. I also wrote a number of dev diaries to help build interest before the game’s release.

I wrote branching dialogue in Yarn, tracked and updated documentation in Confluence, and filed/managed bugs in Jira.

Samples:

Cinematic
A scene that plays when the player first meets the flight crew.

Character
An introduction to Janitorbot, the ship’s long-suffering custodian.

Lore
An in-game article that an NPC journalist wrote.

Dev Diary
A post focused on the design of popular NPC character “Puff Piece”.

Audio Narrative

A Tale of Two Weeklies - A seven-part podcast chronicling the rise and fall of two rival newspapers in Edmonton, Canada.

As part of a team of three, I conducted dozens of interviews and co-wrote and edited 4.5 hours of audio scripts. I also narrated two 30-minute episodes.

The series was shortlisted for “Outstanding Documentary” at the 2020 Canadian Podcast Awards, and awarded “Gold” for Best Podcast in the B2B category of the 2020 Canadian Online Publishing Awards.
