Overview
Spent the majority of my life playing horror games and studying the structure
of narrative and drama. In that process, I noticed that, throughout the years,
video games have made a big progress in many sectors, such as graphics and
gameplay design, however, the development of the narrative is currently
standing still. As a writer and narrative designer my goal, is to create the new
generation of narratives for video games. I already have many concepts
planned, I am just waiting for a company that put its faith in me and that is
willing to change the industry.
