I wrote for Young Suns!
Today, KO-OP announced their next game, Young Suns, which is out on the Xbox Game Pass "Game Preview" program right now. I did contract writing for this game! Over the last few months, I wrote six characters for the game. You can meet them, hang out with them, and lure them into a variety of weird and funny arguments!
I really enjoyed working with this team. Kevin Snow, the game's narrative director (and my collaborator on several previous projects, including Skin Deep) got me onboard to help hit some deadlines. Their narrative pipelines were fantastic to work with as a freelancer, and I had a lot of fun with the rest of their teammates as well.
The setting they've created was a ton of fun to write for. It takes place after a worker revolution on the moons of Jupiter. Regular people rose up and drove out the corporations in a difficult, dangerous uprising... and now they're building a new society. Everyone has a different idea of what their new society should prioritize, and a lot of them disagree pretty seriously about the methods they should use to build utopia. It's a ton of fun to write opinionated, flawed, silly characters for a setting like this!
The game has a Steam page up, but isn't on that platform yet. If you don't have Game Pass (I don't, personally) then you should keep your eyes peeled here!
To sell my skills again: I rolled onto this team very late in production and wrote about 84000 words on nights and weekends. If you have a problem like this on your game... I can do the same for you! I can fold myself into teams, learn your house style, and deliver massive assets at high quality under some pretty intense deadlines. I'm open to part time and contract work right now.
Young Suns marks the fourth game I worked on that came out in 2025! I was part time on two of them - Young Suns and Skin Deep - and I have yet another project I helped as a contractor coming out next year. When I look back at the last six years of my life, it's been a pretty deranged run. My best count is that I've worked on thirteen different commercial games in a variety of capacities since 2020 - Ruined King, Hextech Mayhem, Convergence, Mageseeker, Song of Nunu, Bandle Tale, Saturnalia, Industries of Titan, A Monster's Expedition, Skin Deep, Young Suns, Hyper Light Breaker, and Possessors. Pretty crazy!!! Anyway, I could do this work for you!!!
