Reigns: Game of Thrones

The Reigns team takes on Game of Thrones, and I’m one of the writers!

Developed by Nerial and published by Devolver Digital, I think this marks an incredible opportunity for tiny indie teams getting to work with major licenses. The swipe-to-rule mechanic and comic brutality that François Alliot created for the Reigns series is a perfect fit for Game of Thrones, and as a writer I hope to work with more small teams getting their hands on right-fit universes — especially for mainstream platforms like mobile.

I’m not as involved with this one as I was on Her Majesty, on which I was narrative director and primary writer, but I’ve gotten to provide lots of editorial support and character work, particularly for Cersei Lannister’s reigns. In my talks on Her Majesty, the character of Cersei has always been a reference point for powerful women getting to do bad things, so this was a wonderful outcome.

Reigns: Game of Thrones is out now on the App Store, Google Play and Steam.
