Personal gaming achievement - after some intense bouts of group burnout I finally cleared this most recent ultimate *juuuussstt* before the next one releases next week. #FFXIV

The timeline doing its thing of course. Surely unrelated.

Split between narrative design and game writing this for this last Game Jam, and we got something finished! Going to continue polishing it, but we made Dolphin Science!

Friends without breaking any NDAs it’s possible I might be working on a very fun (paid) project very soon. Please send at least one (1) positive thought into the ether for me, my cat, my bills, and my cat’s bills. Here’s a pic of my cat not paying bills:

In very minor news (but major for me) I finally completed The Epic of Alexander in #FFXIV. It took a little studying, and a lot of blacklisting. But we did it. Twice. This is something I’ve been wanting to do for maybe the last 3 or 4 years.

I went back to freelancing for a bit and then an agency working on Meta Quest got me up. Here I FINALLY got to launch my first AAA game Asgard’s Wrath 2. Also my cat was featured on our platforms. I really enjoyed my team and time there, but alas… layoffs. Anyway here’s my cat:

Around this time I lived in Stockholm, and ended up moving back to NYC for an easier vaccine rollout. A few months into my return to NYC I got an interview at Snapchat to work as a Creative Strategist. This is where I got to concept AR filters for gaming brands like Ubisoft & Activision/Blizzard

I actually started my career in indie games a decade ago. Doing market research, and cutting together trailers for an unreleased mobile game at Computer Lunch. I had my eye on that studio thanks to the NYC Games Forum, so when they said they needed help I jumped on the opportunity.

Starting my little pinned post so y’all can know a bit about me. I’m Karon. Brought up through the ad agency side of games, and now I dabble a bit in writing and narrative design.

In today’s writing research I learned that the word for a scythe handle is a “snath”.

I would like to start an online petition to get my cat cancelled. Every time I test my head on her she immediately has to clean that spot as if I was a germ. Not sure which phobia/-ism this is but IT’S ONE OF THEM.

The portfolio school I’m teaching at has a handful of copywriters interested in narrative design, so I have this book (that I am also actively reading) in a reco list for them. The Game Writing Guide by @annamegill.com (Pardon the bent corners, it’s both well-read and well traveled)
