Project details
How many games have you played where every town is populated by clones who all spout the same generic one or two lines of dialogue when talked to? Populating the world with NPCs that, while not necessarily relevant to the main plot, are unique characters with side stories helps immensely with both worldbuilding and immersion. These NPCs have normal lives that progress as the main story does, making the world feel real and lived-in.
I want to help you do the same thing in your game!
I’m a game designer with a focus on storytelling, and a Creative Writing major with more than ten years' experience writing fiction. I know how stories work, and how to best draw the reader—or player—into the lives of characters.
Here’s how it works: You’ll give me information about your game world, and what type of NPC you'd like me to create. Then you'll tell me how many "encounters" their story will consist of. When I'm done, you’ll have an interesting NPC that draws the player even deeper into the world you’ve created!
If you have questions before deciding to purchase—such as doing multiple NPCs at once—please message me!

About Stefan
Freelance Writer and Editor
Seattle, United States - 2:50 am local time
I graduated from Knox College, majoring in Creative Writing and minoring in Computer Science and Philosophy. Furthermore, I studied at the Alpha Science Fiction and Fantasy Writing Workshop, as well as the IES Dublin Writer's Program.
I have written many short stories, usually speculative fiction in nature with a philosophical twist, although I'm certainly not limited by genre. Many of these stories are available to read in my portfolio. Additionally, I am in the process of writing two novels and a screenplay.
Over the last several years, I have done several long-form editing projects. These include a master's thesis focused on sports, and an academic manual for Dongguk University.
The main project I'm working on currently is an indie RPG with a heavy focus on story and characters. More details, as well as a downloadable demo, are also available in my portfolio.
