Steve Thompson

With a Creative Fiction Writing BFA under my belt, I want to craft video game narratives that will touch players and stay with them for years.

About me

I grew up on point-and-click adventure games and largely Nintendo products but was able to build my own PC in high school. My free time is spent largely between writing my own creative work and engaging in gaming in some way, whether it be through playing them myself or watching someone else play them through websites like YouTube and Twitch.
I discovered the power of game narratives in middle school through Xenoblade Chronicles and have been writing as a hobby since 2012. I earned my BFA in Creative Writing from George Mason University.
