I am musician and singer from what was basically a one hit wonder even if we sold the records over a period of years as a tribute to the writer.
I ended up singing for nirvana to cover for the original singer to pay for his funeral and ended up being laughed at for trying to get people at the music video awards in 1994, to see me as the singer of my own band instead of nirvana, there are still pictures of the kmart clothes and green and white plaid over it. Green jeans and blue jeans, a white vee neck shirt and the plaid were swapped out when I was asked to sing for that band. The money all went to pay for the first singerʻs funeral so no would ask whoʻs voice was on the albums.
I bought stock cheap and it is likely going to get me dead over people trying to control the companies and corporations. Iʻd rather just enjoy life.
I worked for blizzard on the secret project as way to get ahead of the problem of content that is designed for six months gets beaten by the crowds pulling all nighters and living off sponsor dollars and streamer money, so they have to be first. Well now more than one person can be first in many locations. I mixed fiction with some things that actually happened in my life to create the back drop for one of zones. The was that we bring on writers with published books, fiction writers that are just starting out and people already working on quests to create a living reactive universe. So that way when the quest writers are working quests they building thousands of quests that can happen in any zone and the flavor of zone can influence all the quests by the very landscape setting the tone, and culture of the people.
I hope it works out well because too many times in video games to have the game story you want you have to stop playing and find a table top gaming group, not because of the writing but because there is something in place that is really grindy to make up for the two years of writing and editing that makes it so the normal player takes two more years to get through the content to give the team time to write and build all the assets and test them.
I'm a professional 3D modeler, video game designer, with credit on World of Warcraft cataclysm and as a tester on Modern Warfare three, and dozens of other games, I have done break fix technical support, call center work, site surveys, and as a technical support engineer, having to fix stuff all the way up to writing code, finding solutions outside the box just to get the issue resolved.
I have a number of books published in japan and northern Ireland, and two world wide with the second of those available on September 8th.
