Hello! I recently completed my first game jam, and now I have a taste for them and would love to compete in another. I was the lead writer on the game Pumpkidex, which was submitted for Patch Mag Jam 2025. My role ended up expanding, so while I wrote the full script for our game, the recipes, and the lore entries, I also integrated some of the assets provided by our artists into new assets for our programmer/coder to use, so his workload was reduced. I understand the very basics of HTML, so I also wrote our game description page. I have nearly eight years of experience as a writer, having started freelancing immediately after my Master's degree (in poetry and screenwriting). At present, I work as a game reviewer and guide writer, and I have another position where I work as a horticulture writer. I am a published poet and essayist.
My preferred game genres are: narrative-driven, cosy/dark cosy, puzzle, RPG, simulation (life, farming, most things, really), management, and exploration.
I'm happy to work on psychological horror, just not hard gore. It freaks me out.
Hoping to find a group to join or other solos that want to team up!
Edit: No longer available for this jam, but absolutely happy to chat about future ones! If you're eyeing up another jam, let me know which one!
