This was a difficult and time-stressed project, but one that I’m extremely proud of.

 

 

Check out some of the cinematics I wrote for the game (spoilers!):

I was responsible for all of the story content in three amazing zones, as well as numerous ancillary responsibilities. I wrote dialogue for primary and secondary quests, crafted quest description text, named mobs, characters and items, wrote and implemented VO for cinematic events and callouts, and contributed to the design of quests and systems.

I love a variety of game genres, but as an old school pen-and-paper Dungeons and Dragons fiend, RPGs have always been closest to my heart. It was a true pleasure to finally get a chance to work on one of them, and I was surrounded by literally hundreds of talented, creative people who were just as excited as I was to be crafting the expansive, wondrous world of Amalur.
