Nicki Minaj: The Empire

I had the pleasure of creating and developing a number of primary and secondary characters to fill the world of Nicki Minaj: The Empire.

Writing story and quest documents for Nicki Minaj: The Empire was only the first step in bringing the stories to life.

Using the game's custom script editor, I was able to place characters, move cameras, trigger animations and block out scenes for key moments in the game.

This video features scenes that I scripted, but most of the scripting work for the game was done by these two fine gentlemen.
