An immersive and interactive game-experience, R&J was an extremely exciting project to be part of. I worked with IKantKoan on the project from April – September of 2023, and got to where many hats during that time. I love the interactive elements of storytelling in games, so R&J and IKantKoan were a perfect match for the experience I was looking for.

My work there included:

  • Transitioning the script into the Unity Game Engine
  • Developing new story beats along with the team’s Lead Writer
  • Working closely with the Lead Writer and Lead Game Designer to plan interactive elements
  • Running both in and out of team playtests

The game ran during the 2024 Philadelphia Fringe Festival between September 9th and October 2nd. Each game ran for five consecutive days with different groups of participants.
