- WRITING -
As the narrative lead on this project, I headed up the dialogue for all of the town characters, creating bite-sized stories that entertained and engaged players. In addition, I designed the quest and lore for
Leress and her over-arching narrative.
I also created the world lore, establishing the realm of Elsewhere and the various worlds the characters were banished from. The largest challenge was creating different and unique voices for each character so that their dialogue sounded distinct. To accomplish this, I took special care to focus on each person's backstory before writing their lines, which allowed their personalities to shine through
