Civics Scribble (2026)
“Civics Scribble” is an educational line-drawing game produced by Nebraska Public Media. Follow Mr. Apple on a rollicking road trip across America, solving puzzles and learning about U.S. Civics!
I am the lead narrative designer on this project. I established background lore and offered context for the story of Mr. Apple, edited text within the game, playtested, created story-driven assets, directed and produced cut scenes and trailers, and programmed dialogue events in Unity and Twine.
While there is an online version and a mobile app available to play now, the world of Civics Scribble has only just begun. We are currently gearing up for an expanded edition to be released on Steam in the summer of 2026. It will feature everything loyal players know and love, plus all new puzzles, the ability to edit levels in Construction Mode, collectible items, expanded lore, and exclusive cut scenes!
In February 2026, we launched an updated demo on Steam that is free to download right now!
Powwow Bound: A Menominee Homecoming (2025)
“Powwow Bound: A Menominee Homecoming” is a collaboration between Nebraska Public Media and PBS Wisconsin. It tells the story of DJ and her family returning to the Menominee reservation for a powwow and family reunion.
The head writer on the project was a member of the Menominee tribe with a background in film. I helped transform his linear screenplay into game dialogue. I programmed interactive text, added additional side dialogue, and made minor narrative changes while preserving the author’s original voice and vision.
