Our Work
Real projects. Real storytelling challenges. Real solutions from Waterloo’s narrative design community.
Cipher & The Choice Engine
Helped a local indie studio design the narrative structure for their sci-fi adventure. Over 120 dialogue nodes with 8 major story branches, all converging to meaningful endings that respond to player choices made 15+ hours earlier.
Interactive Storytelling Fundamentals
Ran a structured 6-week workshop series covering decision tree architecture, consequence mapping, and dialogue system design. 16 developers from 9 different studios completed the program, each building their own branching story prototype.
Story Rescue: Character Arc Redesign
A mid-development studio brought us in to rebuild character arcs that weren’t landing with test players. We restructured 4 main character journeys to react authentically to player choices, increasing emotional engagement by rewriting 30% of dialogue to show genuine consequence.
Dialogue Engine Architecture Workshop
Partnered with a studio struggling to implement their branching story in code. Designed a scalable dialogue system that handles 200+ conversation nodes with conditional logic. The team shipped their dialogue pipeline 3 weeks ahead of schedule.
