About Me / Game Writing
I’ve been writing since 2016, and this deep interest led me to become a game writer. You can read some of my personal writing here.
I believe narrative is one of the backbones of memorable gameplay, and I used my diverse professional experience to communicate effectively between different disciplines and maximize the narrative potential within production limitations and creative opportunities.
I write fluently in Bahasa Indonesia (native) and English, allowing me to do localization while maintaining the rhyme, tone, and cultural intention—making sure the story resonates with the player without losing the original content and deliverance.
Narrative Design: branching routes, reactive storytelling, interconnected lore, layered worldbuilding
Game Writing: production-ready screenplay, barks, cinematic cutscene directions, narrative pacing
Cross-Discipline Collaboration: concise documentation, visual references, creative problem solving
Native Bahasa Indonesia Localization: adapting tone, rhythm & meanings for resonant narrative

Projects
Beside those four solo projects, in my early game writing journey, I recreated Blacksad: Under the Skin in simplified formats using Twine and a physical book, which became the final task for the Game Development 101 course at Agate Academy.
I also learned to conceptualize a game (my first game concept!) about a boy who becomes the sole survivor of a chemical apocalypse, who’s trying to uncover what happened while he was being put into a coma for years.
