Hello! My name is Amy Grecol and I have been a passionate gamer my entire life. From classics on Nintendo DS to games of the year on the Playstation 5, I am drawn to media that have compelling storytelling, amazing world-building, and impactful character development. It was games like Undertale and The Witcher III that solidified my desire to write stories for a living and potentially change lives. Therefore, I have never stopped creating, and it is what I love most about the game industry. The ability to bring the craziest ideas to life for people all around the world to experience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

I graduated from Kent State University, Ohio as a game development major where I learned crucial skills in every aspect of the pipeline. It is also how I made most of my connections and got internships at local companies for real world game industry experience. I can wear many hats with my skill set, but I truly excel in narrative design and writing. I have written scripts for games, movies and animation projects, entire D&D campaigns and one-shots, game design documents, character biographies and barks, and short stories.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Some games that I take inspiration from when writing are:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

  • Undertale<\/span><\/li>
  • Night in the Woods<\/span><\/li>
  • Red Dead Redemption II<\/span><\/li>
  • The Witcher III<\/span><\/li>
  • Baldur’s Gate 3<\/span><\/li>
  • And so many more! <\/span><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

    Outside of playing video games and creating things on my computer, I spend my free time playing TTRPGs such as Dungeons and Dragons and Vampire the Masquerade, studying the night sky with my telescope, and planning my next cosplays!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

    Right now I am playing an elderly Goblin Hellspawn Witch named Olga during my Sunday D&D sessions and she’s a fire that can\u2019t be contained. From her raging ADHD to her passion for frogs and arson, she has a god complex and believes she is going to outlive everyone she knows to become the oldest living Goblin in history. She\u2019s my longest-running character, so she\u2019s definitely living up to her name! Her secret to eternal life: worms.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

    I am a huge astronomy nerd, so I never stop looking up at the night sky every chance I get. With my Astrozap Super 5 telescope, I love looking at the moon, Saturn, star clusters, and any other celestial objects I can find. My favorite celestial objects are black holes, but unfortunately, they can’t be captured with just my telescope. I\u2019ll leave that to NASA.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

    Finally, cosplay is my most ambitious hobby. Everytime there is a convention nearby or in a surrounding state, I\u2019ll plan months in advance to make lore-accurate outfits and props of my favorite characters. My most recent cosplay was a collaboration with my partner, dressing as Bill Cipher and Ford Pines from Gravity Falls. Some of my past favorites have been Lady Dimitrescu, Chell from Portal with a 3D printed portal gun, and Geralt from the Witcher III with his two swords and handmade armor.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
