COLLECTIVE LEADERSHIP

The Tiamat Collective exists to help its members, and though we don’t abide by a strict hierarchy, there are five “Heads” that help to manage the particulars of its affairs, and coordinate with each other to find the best candidates for the offers that arrive. Each Head has an area of specialization, but there is more than a little overlap between them. Additionally, each are available for contracts: if there is one that you would like to request to work with specifically, please don’t be afraid to ask.

Annie has been working in the game industry since 2004, doing writing/design/narrative work for a range of projects from AAA to indie. She founded the Tiamat Collective in fall 2019 to first provide a launching point for her own work, and quickly expanded it to include her friends, colleagues, and many other diverse voices and talents. In April 2022, she won the BAFTA for Best Narrative (along with Witch Beam developers Wren Brier and Tim Dawson) for her work on the puzzle game Unpacking, where players uncover the story of the main character and her life through unpacking and arranging her possessions over the years.

Annie deeply enjoys collaborating with teams of all sizes on projects of all scopes, from small indie to AAA, and has experience in nearly every area of game design. She has a great deal of experience in multiple styles and varieties of narrative and writing - cutscenes, branching dialogue, fiction, item descriptions, etc - and in scripting for voice actors. She takes pride in encouraging her teammates, bringing virtual worlds to life, and inventing new and tasty beverage combinations.
