Work in Games and Television

IRON MAN

Motive, 202X: I'm a Senior Writer on Motive's upcoming Iron Man game! SPOILER ALERT: it will be a rad game.

LOST IN RANDOM

Zoink Games, 2021: A new game from Zoink (Flipping Death, Stick it to the Man): a dark fairy tale RPG that I wrote all the dialogue for! It's got a super cool trailer too, and it was an official selection of the Tribeca Film Festival. Out now, Kotaku loved it!

AVO

Playdeo, 2019: "TV you can play" kinda describes what's going on in this game, but there's so much more. I really think you'll like it! Co-written with Gemma Arrowsmith!

MARVEL RISING: SQUIRREL GIRL

Marvel, 2019: I wrote this short to introduce Squirrel Girl to the Marvel Rising universe! Featuring Milana Vayntrub as Doreen herself.

FLIPPING DEATH

Zoink Games, 2018: A new game from Zoink that I wrote dialogue for! Here's the trailer!

DESTINY 2

Bungie, 2017: part of the writing team for the "Curse of Osiris" DLC. It was AWESOME. We also made comics!

HIVESWAP

What Pumpkin, 2017: Andrew Hussie and I worked out the general story of the game, made up puzzles, characters, conflicts, and basically just spent a week together (in a blizzard) inventing crazy stuff. Just a couple of pals writing a game! Later on, when the game was actually programmed, I did some writing for the first episode.

BRAVEST WARRIORS

Nelvana, 2017: I've written several episodes of Bravest Warriors and you can watch one of them right now: it features robot duplicates because of course it does.

TO BE OR NOT TO BE

Tin Man Games, 2015, 2022: I collaborated with Tin Man games to turn my interactive fiction book into an interactive fiction game! It's got read-along narration, achievements, special effects, and tons of fun. Please enjoy. It also came out for Nintendo Switch in 2022!

STICK IT TO THE MAN

Zoink Games, 2013: I did the dialogue writing for this game! So if you ever thought "I wish I could play a game where Ryan made some jokes" I have good news: THAT GAME EXISTS. Also it got real good reviews, so there's two reasons to play it!

ADVENTURE TIME: ROCK BANDITS

Zoink Games, 2013: there's a comic inside this game that you can read. I wrote it!
