We played a minor part, supporting the in-house narrative team, working on barks and vignettes, some aspects of dialogue, and editing across the board on this Seattle based, action roleplaying game.

I had a terrific time working with Cash and the Pocketwatch Games team on the writing and narrative for Monaco 2.

May all your heists go off without a hitch!

Cash! @cashdecuir.bsky.social · Apr 10

Another announcement!

I had the happy chance to work as a writer on MONACO 2. My @talespinners.bsky.social colleague @ironiciconic.bsky.social and I worked on a draft of the game's original story and original script.

It was a joy to work with Pocketwatch on such a classic series.

I've got a few editing credits under my belt now through @talespinners.bsky.social. We've been hired to edit games by everyone from AAA to Indie studios. I'm hoping it's a trend that continues to grow!

Also, I do editing for video games through @talespinners.bsky.social , and this was hands-down my favourite gig ever. I laughed out loud on the daily. The finished game is even better than I expected. Nice.
