Crafting worlds, one word at a time
SCREENSHOT MEDIA INTERNSHIP
I had the opportunity to work with SCREENSHOT Media and produce articles on a wide variety of subject from celebrity news to the latest in video game trends.
​
I was asked with bringing a gaming angle to the publication and created various video game orientated pieces including a bi-weekly gaming news article.

PUDDEL - RAINY DAY STUDIOS 2019
Follow Puddel, a naïve sentient science experiment on his quest to travel the world!
Puddel is a 3D puzzle platformer with a twist. Utilize a unique camera panel system to melt, evaporate and solidify your way through the levels. With the help of your friend Chip, help Puddel escape the house and explore the globe!
​
I worked on Puddel as the writer and narrative designer and used the Unity plugin Fungus to bring the adorable Puddel and Chip to life. For this project I liaised with outside sources to create voice acting for Chip and Puddel, something I hadn't attempted before and enjoyed doing thoroughly.

I worked on INK'D as the writer and narrative designer, building the world and developing fun and lovable characters. I used Fungus, a plugin for Unity to create the dialogue for the game and craft meaningful and comical conversations between the characters.

WORLD BUILDING PROJECTÂ 2018 - ELLANDOUR
Over the summer of 2018 we were tasked with a creating a world to help us once development started in September. Being a writer, and someone who is heavily interested in world building, I leapt into this challenge. I drew inspiration form sources such as J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings and Team Cherry's Hollow Knight and thus, the world of Ellandour was born.
​
In summary, Ellandour is a land inhabited by insects and is split into five distinct regions, each with their own native insects, traditions and customs. I decided to craft this world as seen from the point of view of one of Ellandour's citizens, mainly a cleric of the main religion in Ellandour who chronicles it's history. The world is presented in the form of a guide book. It details Ellandour's history, as well as what you can expect to find in the main cities and the points of interest that are worth visiting.
​
To really make this world feel believable, I created a real life physical version of this guide book which you can see images of below.
​
If you wish to find out more about Ellandour, you can find the online version of the guidebook below!
​
As of May 2020 I have begun the early stages of development on a 2D game that will take place in Ellandour. More to be announced in the future, so check the Blog sections for updates!
