OFFERING EXPERTISE IN GAME AND NARRATIVE DESIGN
all about t-dog
I’m T-Dog, and I’m an award-winning Game and Narrative Designer with an array of experience spanning across a range of projects with a wide range of teams!
Whether it’s smaller tight-knit teams with lots of time but limited scope, or bigger teams with not a lot of time but a lot of opportunity to flex some creative skills, I’m comfortable with it all. If you’re kind and work together well, I’m in!
I’m currently working on my own government-funded project but have capacity to take on other projects either locally in Melbourne, Australia, or remotely regardless of time zone!
what has t-dog done?
What haven’t I done?
Aside from direct work on games, there’s also a lot of other things I’ve been part of that have often been games-adjacent.
- In 2020 I was part of Express Media’s Toolkits: Graphic Narratives – a 12-week online course that involves a range of practical exercises and group workshopping to help development of storytelling skills.
- In 2021 I was the teacher of Express Media’s Left to Write: Graphic Narratives. That’s a 6 week online writing group and workshop that looks to help emerging writers and artists to create a community!
- I was host of community radio JOY 94.9’s Youth in Control from 2019-2020. Aiming to discuss day-to-day LGBTQIA+ issues for young people, I often discussed and dissected queer themes in various games for segments during the show!
- I’m an IGDA Foundation Alumni from the Next-Gen Leaders Cohort, ’24. This lead to being an IGDA Foundation’s GDC Program Grantee!
didn't you win some awards?
Yes, I sure did!
Excellence in Emerging Developers at the Freeplay Awards, ’24 for You Will (Not) Remain.
Excellence in Microgamesat the Freeplay Awards, ’24 for Bin Chicken Has a Go.
I'm keen for a good game to work on
Part-time work preferred; open to discuss temporary full-time work for the right project as well.
