Hello! Hello!

Thanks for coming by! I'm Jonathan, a game writer and narrative designer based in Chicago, Illinois. I've worked on game projects across many genres, including action, noir, fantasy and comedy. 

​

I also have a background in higher education, which helped me cultivate the collaborative and communication soft skills to excel in game development. 

​

I bring thoughtful feedback for my colleagues, an adaptable and always learning mindset, and a keen sense of detail.

Yugari's Rampage

My first GameJam as the lead writer. Yugari's Rampage is a magical girl themed Shmup. 

​

Yugari is in trouble. She needs a few magical regents for her summoning circle. The good thing is that her friends have them. The bad news is that they probably won't lend them to her. 

​

The solution. Beat them up, take the regents and ask for forgiveness later. 

Quick reads.

Don't have time to play a game. Here are some quick game writing samples for the recruiter on the go. 

In a rush? Too many portfolios to go through? That's fine. Have a one page script to go.

Looking for a meatier writing sample? The button below has not one, but three writing samples. 

Hoping for another set of eyes on your writing? See my process with cleaning up a messy script.
