journey to
foundation

A narrative-focused sci-fi VR RPG set in Isaac Asimov’s Foundation universe, following an Agent of Public Safety as they journey to Terminus, discovering their own Mentalic powers on the way.

Coming on to the project just the previous Narrative Designer left, I was trusted to complete our vertical slice and help define our narrative tools and pipelines. Though I was a junior at the time, I helped hire and onboard the rest of the narrative design team, even as I designed and implemented the narrative for multiple levels of the game. These levels cover a third of the player’s time spent in game, and I collaborated closely with all manner of disciplines to ensure that the narrative complimented and made full use of each facet of our game.

In addition, I moderate an Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) Review Panel that aims to ensure that marginalized groups are well-represented in our game by taking feedback from folks of diverse backgrounds to relevant department leads and working with them to find solutions.

My efforts were rewarded as I was promoted from junior to mid level Narrative Designer within a year on the project.

JOURNEY TO FOUNDATION WILL BE RELEASED IN OCTOBER 2023
