Role: Freelance Writer for DVNC, Tech. They have been developing Episode 1: Maniacal Morning since 2020.
My Creative Process: In order for artists, animators, and programmers to build a character, I learned how to order and format details specific to this team in Word documents. There are the NPC character details to connect to the existing game framework - goals, motivations, struggles, successes, and how the game's protagonist would encounter him. He needs to be likeable, funny, ambitious like the rest of Talent Town, showing that there's more than one kind of talent to be found in the bustling Vaudeville-style town.
I didn’t really have reference images to provide to other developers. Rather, I described my character, Gaston Gaines, in granular detail, yet easy enough for other teams to understand. Creative freedom versus oversight was about an 80/20 split, with feedback from a writing manager/editor.
