Balancing Monkey Games

Role - Writer & Narrative Designer

I moved away from Community Management with Balancing Monkey Games, and became the Writer & Narrative Designer for the sequel to Before We Leave, Beyond These Stars.

I conceptualised, wrote, and implemented branching and linear dialogue for a cast of eight characters with distinct personalities and cultural influences while honouring the creative director's vision and tone of the IP. I also developed mechanics-led story-centric content, while making sure the game has thematic consistency with the games anti-colonial themes in mind. Additionally, I designed the narrative to fit player expectations, target audience and market segments, and studio values.

Role - Writer, or Narrative Designer

After five years with my team at Balancing Monkey Games, I'm saying goodbye to them and Aotearoa NZ, and moving across the world to Berlin, Germany! I'm looking for a remote job as a Writer or Narrative Designer, specifically working in close collaboration with a Narrative Director, or something equivalent to that.

Is that you? If the answer is yes, I'd love to work with you!
