I already told the story of how I became a level designer here at Coffee Stain Studios.

Actually, what's interesting is how I became a writer at Coffee Stain Studios, because I was not hired as a writer at all.

Essentially, we were doing a bunch of internal testing.

And there was a lot of feedback of that context was missing.

Like, why are we building a factory?

What is happening?

How do we communicate to the players what to do and when to do it, et cetera, in a nice way that doesn't interrupt gameplay, et cetera, et cetera?

And I have been writing most of my life, pretty much all my life.

Ever since I could write, I would write.

But it's something that I hadn't really pursued as a career in game dev, because it's a notoriously difficult job to get into, and it's an overly saturated market.

So I just essentially kept it as a hobby on the side.

And then this problem came up here, and I was like, you know what?

I think I know what could fix this.

Story.

So I made a pitch and presented it in front of the company.

And they were like, yeah, cool, let's do it.

And that's how I became a writer.

So that.
