CROSSROAD TALES

Crossroads was what prompted to leave my freelance role. A writer I worked with on an earlier project had reached out and offered me to join a brand new team at Mixi - Japan's Facebook. I figured there won't be many opportunities to build a game from square zero so I jumped at it.

At first it was only a team of 2 designers - myself and my colleague. 2 years later, we've grown that team to 12 and I act more as an assistant producer. I help schedule and assign tickets to QA through Jira, I update knowledge bases, building guides, bug fixes, etc. on Confluence, and collaborate with the art, sound, publishing, marketing, and production teams. Being the only native English speaker, I also coordinate between our writing team based in New York and internal teams in Tokyo.
