I write game blueprints — full story structures, character work and script pages for games I want to see made. Xera Studios is where those concepts live.

Everything here is built around one idea: a pitch should read like the game already exists. Each concept is written for a specific studio, in that studio's voice, with the systems and tone they already do better than anyone.

Influences run from Rockstar's satirical crime sagas to Insomniac's kinetic heroes, Square Enix's emotional maximalism and Lucasfilm's mythic restraint.

I'm looking for narrative and concept work at a studio that makes big, character-first games. If any of this reads like your kind of story, get in touch.
