Games and ARGs

Since its launch in March 2012, I have been writing the script and collaborating on story development for Marvel: Avengers Alliance. It's pretty sweet. There's a wiki. Join! Contribute!) There's been too much written about the game to keep track of it all, but I have a particular soft spot for this Variety article because it was the first time I ever saw my name in those pages (or pixels). Some other early coverage of interest:

• This Gamasutra piece exploring how different kinds of gamers might be drawn to Facebook by Alliance's new combination of gameplay and story features
• A rundown from Inside Social Games, also focusing on gameplay and Alliance's differences from what's come before in the social space
• And here's a stack of articles covering the announcement of the game.

I write mission, card, and character texts for the super addictive online card game Marvel War of Heroes, and a bunch of stuff for the super fun match-three extravaganza known as Marvel Puzzle Quest.

Also, back in the early 2000s, I wrote parts of the pioneering ARGs The Beast and I Love Bees.
