My name is Matthew Birdzell, a multi-disciplined writer focusing on videogames and novels. I create narrative experiences for single player, cooperative, and multiplayer games - from character-driven dialogue and quests to worldbuilding and systemic interactions.

I bring to your team experience crafting set pieces, plotting, character development, a range of dialogue, and descriptions. These in the forms of screenplays, spreadsheets, and barks.

My favorites to play and work on? Slick, cinematic narratives with character-driven stories in FPS’s, Third-Person Action titles, CYOA’s, action/RPG’s. I also am that one guy who pad stats in multiplayer. In addition to those, I do compelling live ops and seasonal multiplayer writing. You sweaty casuals. :)

On the flip side of building single player experiences, I am fascinated by how writing is tackled in multiplayer experiences. Telling a side story, describing a multiplayer map, or coming up with creative insults or announcer moments - it all drives me to bring my A-game. Despite being stuck in a 9-5 fishbowl. /s.
