✎ LOOKING FOR WORK! 

I'm looking for part-time or full-time remote work in game writing and design. I am based in EST/GMT-5 and can provide a full resume and CV upon request. I'm a highly-flexible, multidisciplinary developer with a specific focus on narrative design; I'm also open to editing and English localization roles. My current priority is long-term employment, but I'm an experienced independent contractor open to freelance work as well.

Outside of narrative design, I'm available to create custom CSS/HTML tutorials for Twine® users in beginner-to-intermediate classroom settings (i.e. as supplemental material for high school classes, college courses, workshops). I'm also available to work on custom CSS & UI for individual Twine® projects. If your HTML-based project needs a stylesheet, I would be happy to help.

To view examples of my work, refer to the Portfolio page; to play some right in your browser, visit my itch.io page. Previous clients include Cat Manning, Anna C. Webster, Greg Buchanan, Zero Summer Storytelling, Revelations Entertainment, Coolmath Games, and others.

ABOUT
G.C. Baccaris has been making games since 2016 and freelancing in the games industry since 2019. Grim has a BA in Classics and English Literature, and was mentored by games writers Mitch Dyer and Dr. Greg Buchanan. Before getting into game development, Grim was a classicist in search of archaeological field work, and  now enjoys exploring the spaces where archaeology and games overlap.

Grim has worked in a variety of roles involving writing, programming, and design, and has experience collaborating closely with other disciplines such as production and voice direction. Previous clients include DON'T NOD, National Geographic, Revelations Entertainment, Coolmath Games, and the National Democratic Institute.

Outside of work, Grim maintains a humble plague mask collection and serves as the devoted familiar to a tortoiseshell cat.

"Even in the most Lovecraftian, rich descriptions of arcane deities and strange beings, the prose's focus is upon how it might feel to emotionally live within such a world. [...] Thoroughly recommended."

Greg Buchanan, author of Sixteen Horses and writer for No Man's Sky
"Devotionalia manages to pull off a feat that is difficult for any artwork in any form: It's emotionally powerful and yet ambiguous enough to allow for multiple interpretations."

Mike Spivey, author of A Beauty Cold and Austere
"Music, darkness, melancholy, the unknowably alien, and the space to absorb them. That’s the mood which Devotionalia is after, and it skewers it like a moth on a specimen-board."
