Richard Swanson

 I’m a passionate storyteller and gamer with proven experience crafting compelling narratives across a variety of mediums. I value strong psychological throughlines, narrative integrity, and a collaborative approach.

As a writer and narrative designer I’ve helmed the development of several VR projects, an open-world ARPG, a tabletop gaming experience, a sci-fi fantasy novel, and more. I have also written several feature-length screenplays for film and television. Through these efforts, I have honed my ability to build sympathetic characters, engaging dilemmas, and tantalizing stakes. I find immersion to be the most crucial element in any narrative and am acutely drawn to story-driven gaming experiences with thoughtful ludonarrative harmony.
