At Bark No Byte, a Game Writer helps shape the player’s emotional and narrative experience by crafting compelling dialogue, immersive world-building text, and story-driven content that supports gameplay. From quirky characters in Larry and the Lumberjacks to the ambient storytelling in Dungeon Drifters, the writer is responsible for developing unique voices, writing memorable lines, and ensuring narrative consistency across quests, item descriptions, environmental details, and interactive scenes. They collaborate closely with designers and artists to ensure that narrative beats align with world design, gameplay mechanics, and the studio’s tone.
This role also involves working iteratively with the team to revise story content based on playtesting, pacing feedback, and design changes. The Game Writer needs to be flexible, creative, and strategic—able to write both flavor text and structural narrative elements like branching dialogue trees, quest arcs, and non-linear lore delivery. Ultimately, their work helps bring personality and purpose to every corner of the game world, building connections between the player and the universe of each Bark No Byte title.
