Hi there, and welcome!
My name’s Lucas, and it’s my mission to help your studio thrill players with your game’s story.
Whether you’re creating the story for a new IP, looking for a fresh take on an existing franchise, or needing game-writing services or narrative design mid-development, I’m here to help.
“Lucas is the team player you dream of finding…
“Fun, collaborative, and supportive, day in and day out. He makes any room he's in a better place to be. He loves stories, he loves games—the perfect mix.”
—Susan O’Connor (Founder & CEO of The Narrative Department, Award Winning Writer for Bioshock, Far Cry 2, and Tomb Raider)
“Lucas knocked it out of the park…
“Lucas is extremely easy to work with. There were lots of calls with brainstorming, excitement, and laughter that made the entire process very fun for both of us.
“I fully intend to work with Lucas again and am happy to recommend anybody looking for a writer to do the same.”
—Steve Abeyta (Art Director for Industrial Toys, an Electronic Arts studio)
Not all game stories are created equal…
Why? Because a good game story is tricky to pull off! Gameplay mechanics can clash with story needs. What players want can conflict with what their character wants. Pacing can fall flat, dialogue can drown in exposition, and a game’s plot can get mired in longwinded cutscenes.
Luckily, with my experience as a lead writer, narrative designer, and story consultant—with undergrad and graduate degrees in fiction and game writing from Stanford University and the University of Texas—your game’s story will be in good hands.
