From narrative rescue on mid-production titles to foundational world-building for new franchises, I provide the architectural support studios need to ship.
What follows is a cross-section of my work in the video game industry. (Note: This list is curated to focus on digital releases and doesn’t include my contributions to tabletop and card game architecture.)
Tower Of Time
Genre: Fantasy/Sci-fi classic RPG in the vein of Baldur’s Gate, Pillars of Eternity and Divinity Original Sin.
Role: Narrative Rescue & Executive Editing
Challenge: The studio possessed a strong mechanical prototype but lacked a cohesive narrative structure to drive player engagement, risking a “hollow” gameplay experience.
Solution: Integrated mid-development to restructure the story logic. I converted loose concepts into a linear, executable script, ensuring the narrative supported the existing level design without requiring expensive asset rework.
Outcome: A critical and commercial success with a “Very Positive” Steam rating, praised for its depth and world-building.
