I have a particular set of skills that I would love to use to help your project.
Consulting
I offer an outside perspective and targeted support throughout the whole production:
- early concept – how to describe an idea to get funding?
- pre-production – how to scope the resources needed to make the idea into reality?
- production challenges – how to fix this scene, quest, or conversation and stay within budget?
- competence building – how to use the production to level up the team’s narrative skills?
- final touches – how to finish the game in time while saving its heart?
I work guided by your ideas and the preferences of your team. I know, that as the game’s creator, you have good ideas. I also know, from experience, that good ideas and solutions to complex problems can be two separate things—and I can offer you two decades of experience in finding solutions while staying within business, technical, and artistic constraints.
Mentoring
We can work one-on-one on topics that are important to you. We would meet online, for one hour, at weekly/bi-weekly/monthly intervals—depending on your needs. We can meet a few times to work out a specific problem, consult your CV/portfolio, or plan your career path. We can also meet on a regular basis to work on developing your narrative skills and toolset.
Workshops
If you need someone to run an online workshop or training serving your team’s particular needs—I’m your guy. I have over a dozen years of experience in teaching narrative design, game writing, design doc writing, tutoring designers, organizing writers’ rooms, etc.
