I'm now open to work and looking for my next role as a Writer or Game Designer in games, now that my contract has ended.
I have worked on the award-nominated Civilization VII, and have many other indie and AA projects where I was responsible for content, systems and production.

adding re: game writers
It's such a conundrum because every project is different. Some games want you to only do writing, in others (particularly indie) you're juggling narrative design, game design, editorial/MarComm
yes, we have to consider different angles and explore different disciplines.

both games writers & games journalists face the same misguided perception: that their experience is too niche & they can "only" do games writing/games journalism... even though they must consider angles & do the kind of work that no other non-games writer or journalist needs to think about

Maybe niche, but Crush 40's tracks for Sonic Heroes are songs I still listen to.
What's your favorite gaming soundtrack?
Whether it's iconic chiptunes from your childhood, sweeping orchestral RPG scores, or thematic yet subtle music from your favorite horror game - what would you consider your favorite gaming soundtrack (bonus points if you can tag the composer as well)?
