Hey everyone! I’m Samantha, and I’m a Narrative Designer. I work as part of the Game Design Team, where I own and manage the narrative decisions in the game. This can be anything from the tone of voice, formatting, and UI copy of the game, to designing the narrative system of a game aspect. In my role, I work very closely with the game designers, often pairing with them on design work that has a heavy narrative element, and also the audio team. In games with voiced content, narrative and audio often work together to scope the work, design the system, put the scripts in place, and also to direct the voice actors when it’s time to record. No day looks the same, but it always revolves around game narrative!
I joined Frontier as a Senior Narrative Designer early in 2021, following years of industry experience in both AAA and indie studios. Frontier is a great place to work, and I’ve had the pleasure of making games alongside so many talented, hard-working, and helpful people! I’m really excited about my future here, and the future of the narrative design discipline within Frontier. I can’t wait to see what comes next!
