MY ROLE

With Everland in legal limbo, I am unable to share specific examples of my work, but I can discuss what my role was and how it evolved.

I was approached by Byron to create lore for Everland and build the background story of the world. My opening project was to build story and background for a pirate-themed zone. From there, I became a contract worker as the “Lore Writer” of the project and participated regularly in design meetings for the first three months.

My contributions to the design team earned me a full-time place in the company as my skills in game design were recognized by my team lead. I was able to flex into multiple design roles, helping with design of interiors, mini-games, gathering, and crafting systems.

My core responsibility remained as Everland’s world builder and narrative designer. I created all of the game’s lore, created NPCs both fictional and based on real-world social media influencers, wrote dialogue, and created interactables with lore drops. In my role, I had a major impact on the game’s creative direction.

I worked very closely with the art team and created art briefs for them to build interiors or draw and animate NPCs with. I also utilized tools in Unity to implement some of my designs.

I became an integral part of the team and began participating in lead meetings, core team meetings, and design meetings. In addition to my design work, I also wrote copy for fund raising campaigns and spearheaded the website’s developer blog.

With production currently paused, I would like to bring the skills I brought to my role at Everland to a new team.
