I'm thrilled to have joined the writing & narrative design team of Skywind!
Skywind is massive game project that aims to rebuild the classic RPG Morrowind, using the tech behind its ubiquitous sequel Skyrim.
The writing team has been hard at work adapting thousands of existing lines of dialogue and quests, while implementing loads of cut content, item descriptions, new dialogue and encounters, and much more.
Release date is still TBD, but work continues apace, and I can't wait to share this classic game with a whole new generation of gamers and story lovers.
Check out our latest update video here, and head to our website if you're interested in applying to the team - we're actively recruiting!
A delayed update but still fun: earlier this year, I interviewed a slew of legendary game designers about the Thief series, Looking Glass Studios (RIP), and the future of immersive simulation. The interviews resulted in features across several outlets, including two of my favorites: RockPaperShotgun and Retro Gamer Magazine.
The RPS piece centers on a landmark collaboration by amateur and professional designers, and the Retro Gamer piece is a 25-year retrospective of stealth games.
You can read them both via the buttons here.
Closing out the year with some lovely new experiences under my belt, not least of which was speedrunning a gauntlet of game design and writing classes at The Narrative Department.
Helmed by industry titans Susan O'Connor (Bioshock, Tomb Raider) and Will Shen (Skyrim, Fallout), TND's program is unmatched for folks looking to deepen their writing and design skills. I'm so grateful to them.
Very excited to apply the lessons to new projects in 2025 - and can't wait to see people at the Game Developers Conference in March. (Hit me up if you'll be in SF!)
After winning more Best Play awards than any in British history, THE INHERITANCE transferred to Broadway, where I joined the producing team, and where it won 4 Tony Awards, including Best Play. It has since become one of the most-licensed plays in America, and been translated into multiple languages for productions around the world.
