Abolish ICE.

There’s no reforming it.

There’s no compromise.

There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

5 Tips on Writing With: Cory Lanham Learn expert writing tips from Cory Lanham on crafting compelling hooks, developing strong plots, and creating authentic, immersive stories.

Recently had the pleasure of contributing to EarReality’s β€œ5 Tips on Writing” series.

I’m definitely approaching the answers from more of a β€œwriting” perspective than a β€œnarrative design” one, but I guess that’s just where my head’s at these days. Hopefully there are some useful nuggets in there!

After taking time off to sort out some family business, I’m once again on the lookout for writing roles!

I’m a 16yr industry vet across 8 shipped titles, 2 of which are DICE Award winners (Lone Echo & Lone Echo 2).

So if you’re looking for help crafting your game’s narrative, shoot me a message!

Today would have marked the 22nd anniversary of Ready At Dawn. I was with the studio for almost 9 of those years, writing Lone Echo I & II. Two projects I could not be more proud of. It was an absolute privilege to get the chance to work with this incredible team. I miss it every day.

An old comic book panel featuring Doctor Doom and Namor. Doom has a large musical horn that Namor is warning him not to toot. But Doom ignores his warning. Doom toots as he pleases.

Cartoon meme of a cow facing a hallway split in half by a fake wall to give the illusion it is split into two separate hallways. On the left side of the fake hallway, the text reads: β€œNew Game is Massively Successful” above the Marvel Rivals logo. The other side reads β€œNew Game Bombs Horribly” above the Concord logo. Both sides lead to the same place: a dark room with the word β€œunemployment” printed above.
