Turning Gamers into Passionate Fans

Launching DuskBreakers for a Web2.5 Audience

This is the opening cinematic for DuskBreakers, which sets up the first mission. I developed the script, created the storyboards, recorded the VO, and worked across departments to refine camera moves and edits. The final scene matches the game's UI overlay for the start screen.

MY ROLE

Creative and strategic brand leadership:

I developed the brand, tagline, copy library, brand guidelines, website design (shown below), and marketing strategies. I also wrote, storyboarded, and directed the opening cinematic (shown above), content update trailers (one shown below), multiple cutscenes (below), and art directed the key art (directly below). I also developed social strategies and content (examples below) and managed the Social channels during our critical launch window.

Content update trailer (final update for the current campaign)

This is a cutscene in DuskBreakers that happens after you defeat a mini-boss. I worked with the animation and rendering team to refine the pacing and elevate the tension for the player.

I worked across many departments and with our C-level to design and strategically message duskbreakers.gg to improve onboarding for both web2 and web3 audiences.
