Wow, it's been a little while since I posted last. And it's looking to be a busy Spring.
SOUTH OF MIDNIGHT dropped! It looks great:
I worked on South of Midnight for about three years as the first narrative director, before moving to Highdive (aka Netease) and FRAGPUNK. It was and is an extremely ambitious project: a Southern Gothic third-person adventure story set in the Deep South, about a young Black woman who discovers the creatures of Southern folklore, and her own magical powers. At one point I think I might have suggested that we were about to go running with scissors through a cultural minefield.
I'm excited to see if Compulsion pulled it off! You can check the game out on Xbox GamePass as of April 8th.
Oh, yeah, FRAGPUNK. FRAGPUNK dropped last month!
This is a multiplayer shooter I've been the Narrative Lead on since I left Compulsion. We have terrific gameplay, a fresh mechanic, and outrageous characters who are a hoot to write.
And... my book drops April 30. The best place to buy it seems to be the publisher's site, where it's about US $50 (minus 20% off through April!). It's about, what else, game writing. If you liked my books about TV writing and movie writing, you'll probably like this one, too. And if you haven't, you'll probably like it anyway! I mean, you're here, aren't you?
My name should also be on some indie games later this year, so watch this space...
