Creative Director @Endless Access

As Creative Director I lead the creative vision for groundbreaking game development projects, starting with Threadbare - an innovative open-source video game that’s democratising game development education worldwide. Threadbare is designed as an in-game learning platform where anyone from individual learners to peer groups, and learning institutions to game studios can contribute meaningfully to its development. Coding, art, sound and music, narrative and dialogue, or bug fixes, there’s a place for everyone in the globally collaborative game. Threadbare is revolutionising how we approach game design education and fostering a global community of creators.Key functions:• Spearhead the creative vision for Threadbare, a pioneering open-source video game project, enhancing community engagement in game development. • Develop educational game loops that facilitate learning in game design and the Godot engine, attracting diverse, global contributors. • Foster collaboration among artists, developers, and storytellers, resulting in a rich culture of contribution to create an interactive RPG experience that promotes game design, game development, and game-based learning.• Develop content arcs that provide a road map for game features and mechanics up to 18 months ahead.
