Zayne Black

I'm a writer and a game designer, with a passion for a good story. I have a degree in Drama, Theatre and Media which has gifted me with a deep understanding of multiple forms of storytelling mediums. I also have extensive credentials in the field of games journalism, with over 20 years of videogame experience to draw upon in my critique and coverage.

In my time as an independent game developer, my games have been played by thousands of people and even won awards. I primarily work towards finding new and interesting ways to convey a narrative to an audience, eager to drive interactive storytelling forward as the primary platform for audience engagement.

My writing credits include a videogame-themed stageplay, a surreal two-part TV comedy-drama, a sitcom pilot based around student life and multiple videogame projects including a 'choose-your-own-adventure'-type game, 2D platformers and a 'hybrid' title that encapsulates several genres within a self-contained narrative.

Going forward, I look to increase my portfolio of created games, including releasing my first commercial title, and further enhance my experience as a videogame writer, with a view to either joining an established studio or forging my own path as an 'indie' developer.
