Nicki Minaj: The Empire

Mobile Narrative Celebrity Game
Glu Mobile

Nicki Minaj: The Empire was a celebrity role-playing game for mobile devices featuring the music, voice, likeness, and inspiration of Nicki Minaj, the queen of rap. 

As a Narrative Game Designer for the project, I helped develop the characters and storyline of the game, write quest scripts, and script narrative sequences using the game's custom scripting editor.

Using the game's custom script editor, I placed characters, moved cameras, triggered animations, and blocked out scenes for key moments in the game.

The game's narrative themes range from the highs and lows of fame, to the palace intrigue of music industry executives, and to the enduring power of love, friendship, and faith in oneself.
