Hi! 👋 I'm Kailani/Kocobo, a Narrative Designer/Writer in the games industry ✍️🌺

I previously worked on Destiny 2, so if you enjoyed 😈 Nezarec 😈 & his lore in 'Lightfall' or ♠️ Wild Card ♠️ in 'The Final Shape', that was some of my work! I also occasionally stream & mod on Twitch 💜

Sadly, my contract with Blizzard ended in September. That means I'm looking for fulltime or contract work as a senior writer or narrative designer. If you need someone who can write sharp characters, poetic prose, and emotional stories, I'm available! www.hazelmonforton.com

It's #portfolioday! I'm presently a senior narrative designer at Blizzard, but before that I was at Bungie and Arkane. I wrote for the Writer's Guild award-nominated Dishonored: Death of the Outsider, and a bunch of critically acclaimed seasons and expansions in Destiny 2.

I tentatively start Tuesday! There’s still some onboarding stuff I need to get fixed but after that I’m golden ☺️ There’s MAYBE a chance I can stay on after at their more permanent location, but understandably no guarantees since that store may not have room for another person.

Thank you 😭🙏❤️

I GOT HIRED FOR A LOCAL SEASONAL JOB!!!!!! FINALLY! WORK! 😭🙏🎉

While it may not be a game industry job, I'm thankful for the opportunity to recenter & have some stability. I'll be leaving this GFM up for the next day or so, & I'm eternally grateful for all the support already given. Thank you ❤️

“Another brush in the box” is wild when referring to a plagiarism machine & customization over top of AI is not the fix people think it is. You still used it. I wish people would have some integrity & not resort to AI because they have a quick deadline. That’s a time management problem.

A rep for Sackbird Studios tells me the team's logo was hand drawn by a human artist.

Some elements of the website did use AI and were later touched up.

Needing multiple streams of income to stay afloat is a societal failure not a personal one. You should be able to afford a comfortable lifestyle with one job. You are not lazy.

Give folks their flowers

No, I mean right now. Go tell someone you loved their work right now. They're on social media just say it, it has never been easier

"They know how much people love--" no they don't go say it right now to a composer or artist or game dev or writer or anyone AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

Murlin @murlin.bsky.social · 16d

From bravewave.net/interviews/t...

Mo: Do you remember the first time you met someone who said they loved your work on Mega Man 2?

Tateishi: You’re the first, in 2013. No one else has.

Mo: Wow. I’m surprised. I don’t even have a follow-up question… how could no one come up and say something.

Tateishi: …

Mo: Now that you know how big Mega Man 2 is outside of Japan, do you look fondly back at the soundtrack?

Tateishi: Yeah, my thoughts have changed since I met you and became more aware of how people felt. But even when I was at Konami, I didn’t even bother telling anyone I did Mega Man 2. So the fact you came all the way to Japan to tell me these things makes me very happy I worked on the game all those years ago.

I really enjoyed working on this image! Congratulations @suckerpunchprod.bsky.social and @erikaishii.bsky.social on the release of Ghost of Yōtei! 🧡

It looks stunning, and I can't wait to play it myself!

Atsu (based on Erika Ishii from Ghost of Yōtei) and Ellie (from The Last of Us Part 2) sit on a cliff, making music. Atsu plays a shamisen and Ellie the guitar. A large wolf lies relaxed between them, eyes closed, one ear turned toward Ellie. A huge iconic mountain lies in the background, and yellow-orange ginkgo tree leaves swirl. The entirely hand-drawn, digital illustration looks like an ink work and is entirely in black and white; only the leaves and the kintsugi-repaired mask on Atsu's belt are yellow-orange.
