Laura MacDonald: Writer Screenplay/Mkt’g & Business Agent:
Destinies’s heart is a story. About places, people, ideas and relationships. Sometimes, concepts such as honor, truth, loyalty and even love are talked about – but in this game – the writers wanted to give them substance. The architects of this epic journey are Jan Kavan and Laura MacDonald. While working on another game project, they discovered they shared similar ideas about game construction and development, particularly the need for a compelling story at the core of a good adventure game.. When Laura read what Jan had written, and set aside, about a strange world, its people and reluctant hero - she urged him to finish the story. Their collaboration on that story began and the result was the creation of a new game - called Destinies.
Jan credits Laura’s extraordinary writing as the driving force behind the narrative elements of Destinies “She breathes true life into the characters and places of this game”. Laura comes to this project with a wide range of writing experience ranging from PR advertising, scripting for on-air features, to her work for a variety of mixed media. She has long been a quiet figure behind the scenes as a consultant for a large number of developers and has lent her expertise to many projects. Not to sit idly with her many credits, she is also a contracts attorney and general business advisor. You can appreciate her many ideas and writing style, as she wrote the text that accompanies Jonathan Boakes’ lovely site design for our game. We will enjoy sharing her creative vision as it becomes fully realized in Destinies.
