NARRATIVE WRITING
Based on my years of experience as a writer for Electronic Arts, Pixowl contracted me to write quest dialog and screen text for a Garfield-licensed mobile game. The challenge was to make every line either a setup for a joke or a punchline, while adhering to very limited screen space.
STORYBOARDING
The team was looking for some means of rewarding players for completing a series of quests. I suggested that we give them collectible three panel comic strips that reinforced story elements of the quests that had just been completed. I provided storyboards that were then rendered by an artist in full color, and these became a well-received feature of the game.
