Massively multiplayer online world. This science fiction game is set in the present in outer space, and concerns a vast conspiracy to use alien technologies to colonize other planets, unbeknownst to the general populace on Earth. The Truth features a drug education program woven into the entertainment. It is aimed at teenagers, and is funded by a grant from the Federal government. I was Head Writer, writing all of the text and dialogue, as well as creating story-based puzzles. [Entertainment Science]

Massively multiplayer online world of intrigue and romance set in the present day. I consulted on the business plan, and worked on examples of the type of interactive storytelling the product featured. [Realtime Drama]
The Gryphon Tapestry (Unreleased)
Massively multiplayer online world. Stylistically influenced by Victorian storybooks, this graphical adventure/RPG game drew upon a blend of medieval culture, traditional fairy tales and Celtic mythology. It is the only game to date to feature complex non-linear storytelling that could be experienced by any number of people and in any order. Hired as Head Writer, I eventually became Co-Designer with Dorian Newcomb and Producer. The game was in closed beta when funding ran out. [Imaginaria]

The same idea as the web-mystery promoting the film A.I., but on a slightly more modest budget. The first person to solve the mystery received a $5000 cash prize. I was the Writer/Designer/Executive Producer. Online 1996-1998. [SouthPeak]
