Tales of the Shire

Tales of the Shire is the first release from the Weta Workshop Game Studio. A cozy slice of Hobbit life, it's a celebration of the simple pleasures in the village of Bywater.

As  Lead Writer, I developed both canonical and original characters, their storylines, backstories, behaviours and dialogue. I created the main game narrative, as well as the side quests.

As Narrative Lead, I led a team of game designers, programmers, and animators to deliver the narrative content and coordinate with the other departments in the studio.

 

And as the resident Tolkien scholar, I worked both with the team and Middle Earth Enterprises to ensure the game content respectfully aligned with J.R.R. Tolkien's work
