As a Game Writer/Narrative Designer, Game Designer, and Character/World background designer, I specialize in the creation of narrative pillars and background structures for Fantasy and Sci-Fi MMORPGs and Action Games. I am also an accomplished worldbuilder and pre-production manager.
A Creator of Worlds: I started as a Junior (Screenwriter and Narrative Designer) in Geode Game Factory (L.A.) and worked my way up, creating Quests for MMORPGs, campaigns for tabletop RPGs (including the Infamous "Femmes Fatales of the Seven Seas" for Corsairs and Privateers) writing plots for manhwa, manga, various comics, and several screenplays for cinematics and animation short films.
I spent fourteen years forging stories and knitting plots for the local game industry. I also worked as a freelance writer, particularly in wuxia MOBILE RPGs like Age of Wudang and Dragon Warriors.
I'm a seasoned dramaturgist and a passionate investigator of the dramatic arts. A content creator with high-end experience in both production and design for transmedia and audiovisual projects.
I'm also an author, with six books published and a dozen short stories in several anthologies, both in Spanish and English.
To resume things: I have created dozens of fictional worlds, thousands of characters, and dialogue lines, and I have countless stories yet to tell!
Co-author of "Press Start" or "How to write a video game plot without dying in the attempt" - Sponsored By EVGA - a simple guide for those who are struggling with the transition between (being) a screenwriter and (becoming) a game writer.

Here's how you can create more immersive storytelling in games by leveraging emotional intelligence.
The best way to integrate gameplay and narrative is through player agency. You need to understand your target audience and which kind of players you are writing for. Do they want to be the heroes of the story or the villains? Do they want to save the world, or are they just there for the thrill? Writing a compelling narrative is essential to connect your audience with your characters. And to accomplish that you need to make your characters believable, appealing, and unique. You need to start to write real people, not just fictional characters. Every player is there for a reason. Are your characters there for a reason? If there's no purpose, there's no value. Breathe life into your characters, and the world that surrounds them.

Here's how you can rebuild your online reputation after a social media failure.
There are few things that can hurt your career more than disrespecting the audience. Your public are your clients, and the rule number one is: Do not treat the audience as fools. Trying to apply damage control after a blunder doesn't work. Playing the fool and ignoring the problem are even worse. What to do? Apologize, and keep going. If your mistake wasn't so dire, then with time, you'll be forgiven. Show class and be professional, and never, ever disrespect the audience.
