  Evil Scum

  October 1995 - Present

  Writing for games:
  * Intellectual Property development for games
  * Game concept development
  * Pitch document creation
  * Game design document creation
  * Level design & gameplay development
  * Story creation... or development & consulting on your existing story
  * Dialog Scripting & rewriting (cinematics, in-game dialog, promotional materials)
  * Cinematic Storyboarding
  * Voiceover Direction
  
  I've written games start to finish: developed an idea into a game pitch, conceptualized play modes and interface, developed mission goals and contributed to level design, written the GDD, and scripted the cinematic & in-game dialog. On the other extreme, I wrote another game where I was handed 16 finished levels which I then had to tie together with an original story three weeks before the game was mastered. Whatever your requirements, I've done it. My specialty is doing a great job and doing it quickly.

• Writer

  Webzen

  February 2006 - December 2007

  Writer of "HUXLEY" for Korean developer/publisher WEBZEN.
  
  "The first generation of Xbox 360 games came and went and, for most people, at least one of the questions remained in their minds: Why do these games still look like high-res Xbox games? Not only is Huxley going to be a cross-platform Xbox 360-PC shooter game, it will also be an MMO, and thanks to the Unreal 3.0 engine on which it's running, it's beautiful. Webzen's game is already polished and filled with great details, particularly on the characters and their weapons, but the depth of field is solid and the landscapes are also impressive. One last thing worth mentioning, there is a fully realized single-player game. Yes, it all sounds too good to be true. If Webzen pulls this off, and it looks like it's going to, this will be the MMO to watch -- and for others to follow on Xbox 360." - IGN.COM's "BEST OF E3 2006 - Best Persistent World Game."
