About

Hello! Call me Pine. I'm a Narrative Designer coming from a cinema background focused on screenwriting and directing, and now make use of this knowledge to create compelling, emotionally engaging experiences for players, both in written and in visual form. My biggest passions in the area are developing characters and writing dialogue and bakrs for them, as well as creating lore and world-building. I also quite enjoy implementing narrative features in-engine and testing them. Feel free to contact me over LinkedIn or at pinejohnv@gmail.com.

Handled in-game text, dialogue, narration, barks, item/skill descriptions and narrative documentation. Created lore, worked on world-building and brainstormed narrative elements for multiple projects, such as Sword Legacy: Omen (swordlegacy.com), winner of the Best Storytelling Award at SBGames 2016. Published by Team17, it's a dark re-imagining of the King Arthur mythos in the form of a challenging tactical RPG. I was responsible for all narrative content and in-engine implementation, collaborating with Game Designers and the Narrative Director, editing scripts, codex and lore pieces. I've also directed multiple Voice Actors for narration and grunts and provided consulting for localization (FR, DE, RU, PT-BR).
