Some of My Favorite Works
From naming achievements, rewriting dialogue, barks, quest dialogue, and upholding the lore, here are some games I loved working on!
The Legend of Heroes: Trails Through Daybreak
Maintained story archives, lore timelines and history, quest dialogue, barks, item descriptions, and much more!
Ys X: Nordics
Focused heavily on in-game text, barks, main story dialogue, achievement naming, tutorial text, item descriptions, and attack descriptions.
The Legend of Heroes: Trails Through Daybreak II
Focused on in-game flavor text such as movie brochures, posters, movie dialogue, quest dialogue, NPC dialogue, and character barks.
A Totally Ordinary Fishing Game
This Game Jam creation follows a young panda bear named Teddy as he goes about his very totally not-boring life as a fisherman who doesn't even eat fish. Every day, he catches fish and brings them back to Mr. Jefferson, as his father did before him. Through absurdism, he navigates his mundane life to search for meaning and purpose...and fish.
The Otter Side
I'm fortunate enough to have become the Executive Producer and Narrative Designer of a small indie dev team, Seaside Studios. Together, we're working on a cozy mobile game about otters, conservationism, and the value of community. Although the game is still in development, we are aiming to have a playable demo by Fall 2025!
Arigato Grande
You may have noticed the name "Ari" around. It all started here, with my first leap into the entertainment industry. I debuted as a parody pop artist in 2018, serving as Executive Producer, Director, Song-writer, and Main Talent in this light-hearted, tongue-in-cheek parody paying homage to Asian American youth culture.
