Narrative Designers are the storytelling architects of Foehammer Studios' games. They develop game world lore, create compelling storylines, write character backstories, design creature and object dossiers, and craft immersive documentation. Narrative Designers bridge the gap between creative vision and player immersion, creating rich narrative layers that enhance the game world and provide context for gameplay.
This role encompasses everything from writing faction histories and character arcs to designing codex entries, creating in-game text and dialogue, developing world-building documentation, and crafting narrative frameworks that support gameplay systems. Writers use creative storytelling, world-building expertise, and documentation skills to build believable, engaging game universes.
